If this needs to be submitted in a another mailing list, please let me know. I'm not finding any kernel documentation that provides if a mechanism exist for getting the current number of active processes for a given user as provided by the user_struct to user space (namely an entry in /proc or /sys). Neither do I see any kernel function for getting this information. Is there a supported (and easy) method to get this, other than counting all the current threads for a given user (which can be time consuming on some systems if there are thousands of processes) Scott Fields Kyndryl
