The number of processes present throughout the day can be graphed.  This will help you to understand when the number of users and processes reach their peak values.

 

At multiple peak times ps -elf data indicated that there were 42 processes present. This was the largest number of processes seen with ps -elf but it is not likely to be the absolute peak because the operating system does not store the true "high-water mark" for this statistic.
