grep for the smtp processes (not smtpd)
(or vice versa)
The number of smtp processes never changes so this won't work.
Why ask if you know better? Of course it changes.
mail-ausfall:~# ps auxwww|grep "smtp -n" |wc -l
6
mail-ausfall:~# ps auxwww|grep "smtp -n" |wc -l
4
Unfortunately its not working.
# ps auxwww|grep "smtp -n"
postfix 16747 0.0 0.0 3728 1172 ? S 10:08 0:00 smtp -n
pmx -t unix -u
postfix 18905 0.0 0.0 3728 1160 ? S 10:21 0:00 smtp -n
pmx -t unix -u
The version installed is 2.5.4. It doesn't look like child processes
get spawned from new connections. I ran the command on watch and the
output never changes however postfix is processing about 5 messages per
minute. Why am I getting different results? Is this a configuration tweak?
