title: ps -ef | grep tomcat shows only 3 - 4 processes running
body: <p>I am running a Tomcat 7 Servlet container, and i am trying to observe the number of Tomcat processes running in the background. </p>
  
  <p><code>ps - ef | grep tomcat</code> shows 3 - 4 processes running, even at its busiest load. Am i missing something with the ps command, or is that really how Tomcat runs? </p>
  
  <p>Ps: I have configured at least 200 threads in settings.xml.</p>
