bash-scripting

Hi,

I'm not a shell script expert. I'm looking for a shell script which checks for maximum number of Java processes (MyJavaStandalone) running in the system before starting/executing the current Java process.

Example:

Script: /home/myfolder/script.sh

script.sh contains

/usr/java/jdk1.6.0/bin/java MyJavaStandalone >> $DATE.log &

Here, before executing "MyJavaStandalone", if there are already 10 processes running, then this current process should not be started.
