I have a small problem. It's annoying though. I wrote this shell script:
My problem is that when I run it most of the time it will create multiple instances of itself and I have to individually kill each process. I don't know if it is because I don't have an end to the program and have to press ^Z to stop the program or what it is.
When I typed the command:
After stopping it I did a ps and got this:
Notice the 3 instances it created? Does anyone know why it is doing that and how I can stop it or kill the processes right in my script?
Thanks

pts_sleep
PTS_SLEEP(1) AFS Command Reference PTS_SLEEP(1)NAME
pts_sleep - Pauses for a few seconds
SYNOPSIS
pts sleep [-delay] <# of seconds>
[-cell] <cell name> [-noauth] [-localauth] [-force]
pts sl [-d] <# of seconds> [-c] <cell name>
[-n] [-l] [-f]
DESCRIPTION
The pts sleep pauses for a specified number of seconds. The command can be run from the command line or interactively, although from the
command line it's essentially equivalent to the sleep command. It is intended for use in interactive mode to pause for a few seconds
between batch commands to allow the Protection Server to catch up.
CAUTIONS
Prior to OpenAFS 1.4.5 and OpenAFS 1.5.23, the pts sleep command was only available on Unix or Linux and when OpenAFS was compiled with the
supergroups option (disabled by default). As of OpenAFS 1.4.5 and 1.5.23, it is always available.
OPTIONS
Although they have no effect, pts sleep takes the following standard pts options:
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see pts(1).
-force
Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors or other problems occur, rather than halting execution at the
first error.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or
-noauth options. For more details, see pts(1).
-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more details, see pts(1).
OUTPUT
This command produces no output.
EXAMPLES
Here is an example of a pts interactive session:
% pts interactive
pts> sleep 5
pts> quit
%
