Two rtorrent processes running. Normal?

Question

I noticed when I ssh'ed into my beaglebone black that I got two rtorrent processes running.

is this something rtorrent does per default or have I messed up somewhere along the line? What could cause this and is this something I can fix?

Answer 1

You use htop, which shows threads as separate processes. To be sure, check with ps aux| grep rtorrent or in htop use H key to show/hide user threads.

So it is normal what you see in htop.
