Counting FilePro licenses

[Flavius Moldovan]

Richard,

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the FilePro is running on linux RedHat 4.4.

Following your advice, I will use the following to count the processes. Is this enough?

	ps  -ef|grep -E "dclerk|dreport"|grep -v grep|awk '{print $6}'|sort|uniq|wc -l

Do you know what processes count agains a FilePro development license?

Thank you for your help.

Flavius.
