I have a feeling that check_ps and start_sshd clash somewhere on init or something related to firewall or something else, but I would have to look at all the associated code. This has been this way for quite some time. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Could I reduce it to one so as to reduce CPU load?
The first/earlier instance (in your example 6288) is the daemon, listening for connections on port 22. The other one is your actual connection/active terminal session. Kill the first one and no new connection is possible (until the service restarts), kill the second one and your current connection is gone.

I remember one SSH connection one SSH server instance, but I forgot about the parent process.
Sorry...
