ORIGINAL QUESTION:

I'm running Tru64 5.1.

>From a C program, I need to find out how many processes are currently in the
system.

Is there a cfg_subsys_query( ) call I can make that will return the value
I'm looking for?

        The number of processes running or the number of processes
        allowed? The number running isn't a configuration parameter
        and probably won't have a handle. The other may be, but it
        could also be dynamic.

        For the number running, count the number of files in /proc.
