WebSphere Application Server for Linux shows each thread in ps output
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
The Linux® "ps" command shows more output than other Unix® operating systems. When using "ps" with WebSphere® Application Server on Linux® it may be difficult to understand the output.
 
Cause
Linux has a unique threading model that shows all threads when using the "ps" command.
 
Solution
Each thread shows up as a Java™ process under Linux; therefore, don't be alarmed when you see 150+ Java processes listed in the ps output. Resolution
The "--forest" option for ps is useful for determining what processes are threads.
