For years I use a small script to log the number of processes running on
my FreeBSD server.
Since I've switched from 4.x to 5.4, the number of processes is stuck to
128.
The number of processes was given by :
ls /proc | wc -l
Now I use
/bin/ps aux | wc -l
which gives a more correct result.
That makes me wonder if /proc is not limited to 128 items... any idea ?
