Help me
 

I am using Liunx for first time.I have a doubt.How many processes could Linux support at a time?

Many many processes. Some thousands I think.

Hi,

AFAICR, pid_t is a signed 32 bit integer, so I guess the upper limit would have to be 2^31=2147483648

I'm happy to be corrected though.

Evo2.

Very good title :( Please use a title that covers the question ;)

Hi Rajesh,

rather than process, linux is basically multiUser and multitasking operating system. so with this property it supports n number of process and threads. Each user has 1 shell process or more than one shell process..

please use a descriptive title " help me"
is well of no use

as to processes ?
that all depends

is the distro protected from "the fork bomb" ?
most are .
