Multiple Pandora Processes on Linux
Posted by tim-ellis-smith on April 30, 2015 at 11:56Hi there,
When I start Pandora on Linux (Amazon Linux AMI release 2014.09), it shows two processes:
ps aux | grep pandora
root 4570 0.4 0.2 153564 7764 pts/0 SN 08:26 0:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/pandora_agent /etc/pandora
root 4575 0.0 0.1 153428 6048 pts/0 SN 08:26 0:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/pandora_agent /etc/pandoraWhen I run:
/etc/init.d/pandora_agent_daemon status
Pandora FMS Agent is running with PID 4570.If I shutdown Pandora, I have to run it twice to fully shut it down.
Is this normal? If not, is there any way to stop the two processes from starting?
I know it’s not the init script that’s causing this, as when I run the command /usr/bin/pandora_agent /etc/pandora it still spawns two processes.
Many thanks in advance.
