Hi there :smile:
I run a few eggdrops on my box but after having upgraded some ome them to version 1.6.6 there are multiple instances running, each eggdrop started running version 1.6.6 uses 3 pids. Is this normal or am i missing something ?

This is due to a threaded version of TCL.

You will need to re-compile eggdrop to get rid of this problem.

Alternativly, contact the shell admin, asking if running eggdrop in this way is ok, and asking if it will effect the amount of backgroud processes you can run.

To fix this problem for yourself. Re-compile your eggdrop with the following commands.
./configure --disable-tcl-threads
make config
make
make install
noting the ./configure command.
