copying processes

["Suraj.co.in" <sesha_sai_iyengar@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi everyone,

  Though this isn't a problem, I want to know what happenned?

   I wrote a script that lists n number of  fortunes matching the
string.

     suraj $ search_fortune 10 elephant &
   [1] search_fortune 10 elephant &

     suraj $ ps -A
    blah
    blah
    blah
    1034 search_fortune
    blah
    blah
    1092 search_fortune

     suraj $
  My script doesn't call itself anywhere. What's causing this copying of
processes?

   -Suraj
