Gregory, I'm betting that what your seeing as processes are actually threads. On a Linux box the ps program lists threads as processes, so when you see 5 zope processes you've more likely got a main zope process with 4 extra threads. hth Phil ----- Original Message ----- From: Gregory Popovitch To: zope@zope.org Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 1:43 AM Subject: [Zope] How to limit the number of Zope processes? I run Zope 2.4.3 on Linux-x86. I would like to limit the number of Zserver processes that are automatically started, in order to manage my server resources. I have found the -t option which limits the number of threads per process, but I couldn't locate any configuration for the number of processes. If this is not configurable, could someone point me to the location in the code that starts new processes? Thanks, Gregory Popovitch
