<div>Dear MAKER developers,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One of my users is running MAKER on our large shared-memory SGI UV2000 system (with over 2000 cores) and the application appears to be generating large amounts of 'ps' processes that are overwhelming the system and causing the system to be unusable for
other users. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can you confirm that MAKER would be generating this behaviour and if so, is there a way to prevent the application from running 'ps' repeatedly?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Tim.</div>
