Am I running two copies of dump1090?

I have been checking the performance and cpu load of the pi lately and it appears that two instances of dump1090-mutability are running per the htop screen.

Is this how things should look?

Any thoughts?

dump1090 runs 2 threads, that appears to be what htop is showing you.

(Hit F5 and it’s more obvious)

Thanks for the response. One less thing to be concerned about.

I will try to understand better the features of htop
