View Full Version : 5 processes running for bf2 on linux

Whenever I run bf2 on linux RHE I end up with 4 additional bf2 processes running and all taking up the same amount of ram (about 95mb).
bf2 runs perfectly on linux (can join and play on server with no problem).
When I try to kill the extra processes it kills all the bf2 processes which makes me think there are not really 4 additional running and somehow the "top" utility is being fooled or bf2 does something weird within linux. Anyone
else notice this? Is there a better linux utility for displaying the processes running?

Try checking it with "ps"

> ps aux | grep bf2

Could be threads showing up in top.

I get this running grep:

[root@cyberarena2 bf2]# ps aux | grep bf2
root 2187 0.0 0.0 4648 1312 ? S 07:51 0:00 SCREEN -A -m -d -S bf2 ./start.sh +dedicated 1
root 2188 43.4 4.5 169208 94332 pts/3 S 07:51 0:21 /usr/local/games/bf2/bin/ia-32/bf2 +dedicated 1
root 2200 0.0 0.0 3680 668 pts/1 S 07:52 0:00 grep bf2


is that how it should look?
