Process counter plugin counts sub-processes, should it keep doing so ? #53

The process counter plugin seems to count sub-processes atm, so if someone is running something like:

julia -p 4 blah.jl

or a python program using the subprocess module it will count the umber of child processes in addition to the master process.

If there's an easy way to avoid this it should be done, since many people might use this to monitor a python/node or similar scripting language app, which uses a subprocess rather than threads of parallelism.
