Amount of processes

[Jelle S.]

Hi list, Kannel is running fine just a question about the amount of processes running. I'm running  kannel-1.4.0 on a Gentoo Linux system. When checking the amount of processes running I get this: kannel   11392     1  0 12:55 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/bearerbox --verbosity 0 --logfile /tmp/bearerbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11394 11392  0 12:55 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/bearerbox --verbosity 0 --logfile /tmp/bearerbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11395 11394  0 12:55 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/bearerbox --verbosity 0 --logfile /tmp/bearerbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11396 11394  0 12:55 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/bearerbox --verbosity 0 --logfile /tmp/bearerbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11397 11394  0 12:55 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/bearerbox --verbosity 0 --logfile /tmp/bearerbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11398 11394  0 12:55 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/bearerbox --verbosity 0 --logfile /tmp/bearerbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11399 11394  0 12:55 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/bearerbox --verbosity 0 --logfile /tmp/bearerbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11400 11394  0 12:55 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/bearerbox --verbosity 0 --logfile /tmp/bearerbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11401 11394  0 12:55 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/bearerbox --verbosity 0 --logfile /tmp/bearerbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11409     1  0 12:56 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/smsbox --verbosity 1 --logfile smsbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11410 11409  0 12:56 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/smsbox --verbosity 1 --logfile smsbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11411 11410  0 12:56 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/smsbox --verbosity 1 --logfile smsbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11412 11410  0 12:56 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/smsbox --verbosity 1 --logfile smsbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11413 11410  0 12:56 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/smsbox --verbosity 1 --logfile smsbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11414 11410  0 12:56 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/smsbox --verbosity 1 --logfile smsbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11415 11410  0 12:56 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/smsbox --verbosity 1 --logfile smsbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11416 11410  0 12:56 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/smsbox --verbosity 1 --logfile smsbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11417 11394  0 12:56 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/bearerbox --verbosity 0 --logfile /tmp/bearerbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11418 11394  0 12:56 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/bearerbox --verbosity 0 --logfile /tmp/bearerbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf kannel   11419 11410  0 12:56 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/smsbox --verbosity 1 --logfile smsbox.log /etc/kannel/kannel.conf This makes 11 processes Bearerbox and 9 processes smsbox, Does the amount of processes  change for some reason whenever? Are these amounts hardcoded into kannel? Is there a possibility to fiddle around with this? Thanks in advance Jelle.
