fil_dsc - number of file descriptors (if it has loads of
file descriptors, it communicates a lot with the environment and is less likely a batch process)

Quoted 8 lines

At shell they have 3D datasets.

They store them in an "array of 2D files". That way you can do:

         (echo "P5";echo 230 500;cat file24) | xv -

A program processing these e.g. in 2D, but then along a different axis as over here, would have all 300 files open at the same time.......

OK, we could take the number of non-file file descriptors. The number of network connections (to not-self) is usually a good indication of program interaction. The number of network I/Os also is a good bonus.

Rik.
