Linux implemented threads as processes. Due to other gory details that is beyond the scope of this FAQ - the ps command doesn't work correctly with respect to threads. You can get more gory details \[http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2002/11/07/linux_threads.html here\] and \[http://pauillac.inria.fr/~xleroy/linuxthreads/faq.html#D here\] .

You either need to run headless or run an alternate X-server. Some more information can be found \[http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=104803047600003&r=1&w=2 here\], \[http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&m=102335321103262&w=2 here\], or \[http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&m=101614645312259&w=2 here\]. Or if your are using a JVM 1.4 or better, you can use the system property {{java.awt.headless=true}}

This is common complaint in Solaris. Make sure you use {{nohup}} and see \[http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&m=104809785114238&w=2 this thread\]
