Thanks Joshua. I have -
MinSpareServers 1 MaxSpareServers 2 So once there are more than two processes that are spare (not getting used), shouldn't they be killed automatically? So at any point of time when there is no traffic, there should not be more than 2 processes. Your reply would be very much appreciated.
