Thread: Odd looking process tree

Odd looking process tree

From

List,
    I'm using PostgreSQL (from PHP mostly) and have an odd looking process
tree.
948 is root postmaster, 962 is child, and 963, is child of 962, everyone
else
is child of 948.  Whats with that "dual child" business?

snip from `ps -eH`
