Depends on the value and properties of 'almost'. If no processes enter and exit the system, it should be 0 (even if some process is constantly running --- this value only), and that's what I observe when I know no programs (like shell scripts) which start other programs are running. Under light load, it should be OK. If you're still afraid of forking processes, it's probably better to look at the last pid counter in the `top' display to show whether lots of presesses are being created. It's quite possible for prcfr to be in the tens of thousands when doing some 'find . |xargs -n 1 foo' stuff, especially where foo is a large program (because foo gets invoked for each file individually), and it's not a problem by itself. --=20 DoubleF No virus detected in this message.
