A process is an instance of an application running on a computer. On UNIX and some other operating systems, a process is started when a program is initiated (either by a user entering a shell command or by another program). An application that is being shared by multiple users generally has one process for each user at some stage of execution. Chili!Soft ASP supports both multi-processing and multi-threading.
