When I start Tomcat I see the following- ========================================= [vikas@wow bin]$ ps -aefl --cols=300 | grep java 000 S vikas 858 1 4 60 0 - 35712 rt_sig 13:47 pts/0 00:00:01 /net/java/jdk1.3/bin/i386/native_threads/java -Dtomcat.home=./.. org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat 040 S vikas 903 858 0 60 0 - 35712 do_pol 13:47 pts/0 00:00:00 /net/java/jdk1.3/bin/i386/native_threads/java -Dtomcat.home=./.. org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat 040 S vikas 904 903 0 60 0 - 35712 nanosl 13:47 pts/0 00:00:00 /net/java/jdk1.3/bin/i386/native_threads/java -Dtomcat.home=./.. org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat 040 S vikas 905 903 0 60 0 - 35712 nanosl 13:47 pts/0 00:00:00 /net/java/jdk1.3/bin/i386/native_threads/java -Dtomcat.home=./.. org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat ... ... ... 040 S vikas 948 903 0 60 0 - 35712 nanosl 13:47 pts/0 00:00:00 /net/java/jdk1.3/bin/i386/native_threads/java -Dtomcat.home=./.. org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat 040 S vikas 949 903 0 60 0 - 35712 nanosl 13:47 pts/0 00:00:00 /net/java/jdk1.3/bin/i386/native_threads/java -Dtomcat.home=./.. org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat ============================================== It looks like that PID 858 creates a process (PID-903) which in turn creates 46 Tomcat processes (PIDS: 904-949). Where is it configured? Is there any way I can change this? So that I can start Tomcat with the no. of processes I want, say 25, 100.. whatever.. Any help in this regard is appreciated. Thanks, Vikas.
