hello-

i have a RHE system, kernel 2.4.9. when i run ps on it, i see a number
of processes with the STIME of 2004. that's fine except the last
reboot command indicates the machine was restarted on Feb 1 of this
year. why are these processes listed with STIME from last year?

also, i read once that each thread in linux gets a PID. when i run ps
on this machine, i see many java processes, all seem to be threads
from the same JVM. however, when looking at a Fedora FC3 2.6 .10.x, it
seems that all the java threads under one JVM share the same PID. is
that something that changed in the 2.6 kernel? or am i missing
something?

thanks
kevin
