[Asterisk-Users] asterisk startup

[Anton Krall]

Guys, is it normal to have under linux using kernel 2.6 this many asterisks
listed:

 2328 ?        S      0:00 /bin/sh /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk
 2419 ?        S      0:01 asterisk -cg
 2444 ?        S      0:00 asterisk -cg
 2446 ?        S      0:00 asterisk -cg
 2447 ?        S      0:00 asterisk -cg
 2448 ?        S      0:00 asterisk -cg
 2449 ?        S      0:00 asterisk -cg
 2450 ?        S      0:00 asterisk -cg
 2453 ?        S      0:00 asterisk -cg
 2454 ?        S      0:00 asterisk -cg
 2597 ?        S      0:00 asterisk -cg
 2598 ?        S      0:00 asterisk -cg
 4450 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep asterisk

Im starting it up using the init.d script created when doing a make config
on asterisk 1.2 stable 

Is this ok?
