[Asterisk-Dev] Number of Asterisk process

[Eric]

Hi Velimir,

Asterisk is a threaded process.  Some older versions of 'ps' and 'top'
are not thread aware and will display all of the threads as individual
processes (the kernel kind of treats them as individual, even though
they use the same memory space).  Newer versions of 'ps' and 'top'
will show only the parent thread (unless you've specified an option to
display all threads).


I must also note, questions of this nature should be posted to the
-users list.  This list is devoted to development of asterisk source
code.
