Re: limiting instances of java

2001-06-25 Thread Jeff Kilbride

max_threads
max_spare_threads
min_spare_threads

They're all parameters of the PoolTCPConnector class. If you're trying to
configure the number of threads Tomcat is using, you should probably read
about all three of them. They're all listed in the same section of the
User's Guide.

If you only configure max_spare_threads, you're not doing anything to limit
the total number of threads Tomcat can spawn. You're just adjusting the
number of idle threads it keeps in it's pool waiting for requests.

 Actually, I believe that it's max_spare_threads.

Those are threads.  Linux, right?

 Those are threads.  

I thought that ps is aimed at displaying process state (see man ps).

 Linux, right?

Why do you think that the computer used is running Linux ?

Yes.  Linux does not make a distinction between 'process' and 'thread'
the way other OS's do.

Because under linux, ps shows threads.

In the case of the orignal poster, assuming he only started Tomcat,
there aren't 20 JVMs.  There are 20 native threads running in the JVM. 
You can verify this by noting with a 'ps alx' that the PPID will be the
same for all but one, which will have that value for it's PID.  That is
the original process that spawned the other threads.
