7: Running Processes

In direct contrast to bandwidth, this Rule is extremely difficult to specify clear numbers – 50 processes on one machine may be pegging it, while on another 300 processes are fine.

Of course the profile of the processes are critical; most machines, even Windows ones, can support 200 “Hello Worlds” all waiting for a carriage return.

Use Argent to first determine your Linux servers’ process profiles, then adjust

SCP_LINUX_TOO_MANY_PROC accordingly.

It’s likely you will need to take copies of this Rule to create different variables for different types of Linux servers.
