Just a simple page to say that if you notice quite a few tcp ports open on your Linux machine (using netstat or similar), this is expected behavior.

These ports listen on localhost only, hence are not able to be connected to from another machine.

Opmantek applications fork a number of processes as required, up to a maximum specified in the config file /usr/local/omk/conf/.opCommon.json under the attribute omkd_workers.

Each of these processes spawns threads as required, up to a maximum of (by default) 1,000. This is also controllable by the attribute omkd_max_requests, which is also in the same config file as above.

This is expected and normal behavior. If you think about it, Apache works in a similar fashion.

Example command outputs are below.
