Extra java threads on IS startup in Unix - ???

Immediately after IS startup, there are 47 extra java threads created and they don’t go away. I believe that there should only be one.

Example:
$ server.sh # start the server

then do:
$ps -ef | grep ltguser | more

Here’s a snippet of what is displayed:
ltguser 8864 1 0 Jul18 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /opt/app/ltg/webMethods/IntegrationServer4/bin/server.sh -port 5554
-debug 4 -log -
ltguser 8886 8864 0 Jul18 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /opt/app/ltg/webMethods/IntegrationServer4/bin/runserver.sh

.versionInfo=TNS_4-6_SP1;TNS_4-6_SP1_FIX_38;IS_4-6_… (same junk…)
.
. and so on…
.
47 total processes spawned by pid 8886 (all the same junk…)


I can’t find anything in the scripts to cause this. Anybody have any suggestons?

Thanks!
