On one of our unix machines we have hit a too many processes limit. Out of 2300 processes 1950 are amqzlaa0, many of these are dated in the past and I suspect they are orphan processes. Can anyone direct me to a detailed explanation of the MQ processes so I can find out what they do, when they should be around and when they can be killed.

Thanks

amqzlaao is the agent process that runs on behalf of your MQ applications. My guess would be that you are running a lot of clients and that they never bother to disconnect. Try issuing a netstat -a to see what it gives. If this is the case, there have been fixes put in to help with their clean-up. What version of the code are you running?

The following is also useful in wondering what processes are what:

I saw the same thing. Are you using WebSphere Application Server or any java client connections?
