Thanks to Nikola Milutinovic & Udo de Boer who referred me to the 'ps'
switch that will display all threads for a user using the following:
ps -m -A -o pid,tty,user,command
I was then able to grep for a particular user and pipe it through 'wc' to
see how many for that user.
thanks a lot,
Devin Mireau
