Can you determine the number of SAP backround processes available from Unix

[Former Member]

Is it possible for a Unix Korn script to know how many background processes are currently available in an SAP R/3 4.7 system?

We have an old interface processing script that occasionally tries to process a file when there aren't sufficient resources available and would like to have the script wait and retry if necessary.

Apologies in advance if this is obvious - I'm definitely not a script guru.

Thanks!

In unix we can come to know howmany background process are running through the ps command.
