Hi, I have Java browser plugin insgtalled following the handbook: openjdk6-b23_1 + icedtea-web-1.1.4 + symbolic link. After using some page with Java plugin in firefox (like http://websdr.sp3pgx.uz.zgora.pl:8901) and closing it, I still see java process like this: 74450 ?? S 0:04.99 /usr/local/openjdk6/jre/bin/java -Xbootclasspath/a:/usr/local/share/icedtea-web/netx.jar:/usr/local/share/icedtea-web/plugin.jar -c Java process disappears after closing firefox. When reopening the same page, I see this java process reused. So it looks like java stays as a dormant child when nobody uses it. There is no reason to keep java process hanging since it can grow very large (in my case it's size/res=2489M/164M) and web browser usually is a long lived process. Yuri
