If you want to reduce the number of oninit processes, then you will need to reduce one of these. HOWEVER--- On solaris, the vast amount of the memory that each of the oninits is shared. The text portion (i.e. code) is shared. Very little local heap and/or stack is used as most of the data being referenced is from the shared memory segments. Most of the threads stack and heap space also come from the shared memory segments. So, it might be that the number that you're seeing is the logical address space (which is shared), not the actual physical. Madison Pruet
