Why does starting webdis connect multiple redis clients?

When I begin webdis and perform a "client list" command in the redis-cli I get the following output:

 redis 127.0.0.1:6379> client list

 addr=127.0.0.1:44848 fd=5 name= age=13 idle=13 flags=N db=0 sub=0 psub=0 multi=-1 qbuf=0 qbuf-free=0 obl=0 oll=0 omem=0 events=r cmd=NULL

Why do so many clients suddenly connect? Prior to starting webdis, only a single client would appear when performing a "client list".

Webdis creates a number of workers when it starts. These workers then connect to redis. These are the additional clients you are seeing when you do a client list. The single client you see before starting webdis is the redis-cli session you are currently running.
