Hi, As I've got a number of systems here, I thought I'd look how many processes there are on my systems:
Ubuntu 6.06 -> 1 process Debian 3.1 -> 2 processes Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 -> 3 processes Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 -> 3 processes Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 -> 1 process But what I dont understand: Why is it so bad to have a couple of (extra) processes running? If they are simply idle, they dont consume processor cycles and wont use any 'real' memory because they will be swapped to the harddisc. IMHO it is not worth your time to dive into the source for investigation, not even close... Greetings, Ger.
