UML starts on the host side per process one helper thread. (In SKAS0 mode, which is the default.) So, you can limit the number of host threads by starting less processes within UML. ;) Most likely SGE does not detect them as threads because UML uses clone() to create them... -- Thanks, //richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
