Do the shell & spawn count?

[Eran Kravitz]

I have a couple of
quick questions:

1. Out of the 10
process limit, do we
count the shell and
spawn.exe as
processes as well?
In other words, if
the limit is 10 and
i run spawn.exe 9,
do I need to get an
error (since I have
the shell, spawn,
and 9 other
null.exe's trying to
run which totals in
11 processes)?

2. When a process
dies due to
exceeding the total
number of syscalls
allowed, should
there be any error
message displayed?

Thank you.

Yes. They are still user processes.

Just kill the process.
