Strange behavior with scala scripts

scala has to compile the script before running it and by default uses a compilation daemon to speed up future compilations. This daemon is the process you see.

If you don't want the daemon:
scala -nocompdaemon

To shut down the daemon:
fsc -shutdown

You might want to use the option to save compiled scripts so they aren't recompiled if they haven't changed:
scala -savecompiled someScript.scala

-Mark

Also, the daemon will automatically terminate after being idle for 30 minutes.

if this a bug or am i doing something wrong.

This happens if I run scala someScript.scala as well
