Re: remind starts many many times

[Gregory Seidman <gss+debian@cs.brown.edu>]

martin f krafft sez:
} i start 'remind' from my .xsession like so:
} 
}   /usr/bin/remind '-kxmessage -geometry 300x200 -center %s &' -za \
}     ~/etc/remind/remind &
} 
} this works perfectly, and remind reports one running instance. but on
} the next day i am surprised to find 7 running instances:
} 
}   fishbowl:~/misc/vmware/w2ks> pidof remind
}   3934 23306 10026 31790 14875 24138 8229
} 
} (pid's are randomized by grsecurity). what's the deal?

Is remind multi-threaded? Threads show up as processes under Linux.
