How to find out the number processes on Linux OS

I have an application running on the server and I would like to find out the number of processes consumed by the application.

Thanks,

i usually use ps.
also maybe pgrep will be beneficial to you.

For a really quick and dirty way:

Code:

ps -ef | grep application_name | grep -v grep | wc -l

Of course if you want this to be production-worthy you might want to get a bit fancier and clean things up.
