Yep for some reason its spawning multiple processes.

Put the .pid file in the tmp dir only lists 1 pid
[root at pgdb3 ~]# cat /tmp/ClusterMon_SNMPMon.pid

But the resource itself doesn't trigger anything if another resource changes state only if the crm_mon process ( monitored with PID ) fails and it has to restart.

An example of an additional resource would be a vip using ( IPaddr2 ).  Also I have a multi-state pgsql resource, so if the resource fails it will either try to restart or promote another node in the cluster to Master.
