mysqld PID problems, I think...

[DANIEL MAGNUSZEWSKI]

All,

On a RedHat 9.0 server, I am having problem with an application that
uses MySQL. While trouble shooting, I noticed that mysqld had only one
pid. I did a restart of mysql by the following command:

/etc/init.d/mysqld restart

When I do a mysqld status, it is only showing one pid. On my RedHat 8.0
servers the same mysqld status command shows 4 pids. Is this normal for
my RH 9 server to only have one mysqld pid, or should there be more like
my RH 8 servers?

Thanks!
