I just put your script in order ( for me to read...):
Code:
#! /bin/bash
while true
do
   proc_num=$(ps a | grep yourscript | wc -l)
   echo "loop1: "proc_num=$proc_num
   sleep 2
   while (( $proc_num < 5 ))
      do
         echo "loop 2: "proc_num=$proc_num
         sleep 2
         yourscript &      #add a single process
         #sleep 1 # - this is for testing purpose... -#
         #let proc_num=$proc_num+1
      done
   echo " out of loop 1 "
   sleep 1
done
#let something else use the box done

Comment:
ps -a doesnt give the same as ps a
you were missing a space after second while...
My question is more on line launching yourscript: does it go in background like a daemon or not? if it doesnt I see your program being stuck at this point ( but I may be wrong since I dont know what program it is...)

dbilogstrip

DBILOGSTRIP(1)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					    DBILOGSTRIP(1)

NAME

       dbilogstrip - filter to normalize DBI trace logs for diff'ing

SYNOPSIS

       Read DBI trace file "dbitrace.log" and write out a stripped version to "dbitrace_stripped.log"

	 dbilogstrip dbitrace.log > dbitrace_stripped.log

       Run "yourscript.pl" twice, each with different sets of arguments, with DBI_TRACE enabled. Filter the output and trace through "dbilogstrip"
       into a separate file for each run. Then compare using diff. (This example assumes you're using a standard shell.)

	 DBI_TRACE=2 perl yourscript.pl ...args1... 2>&1 | dbilogstrip > dbitrace1.log
	 DBI_TRACE=2 perl yourscript.pl ...args2... 2>&1 | dbilogstrip > dbitrace2.log
	 diff -u dbitrace1.log dbitrace2.log

DESCRIPTION

       Replaces any hex addresses, e.g, 0x128f72ce with "0xN".

       Replaces any references to process id or thread id, like "pid#6254" with "pidN".

       So a DBI trace line like this:

	 -> STORE for DBD::DBM::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x19162a0)~0x191f9c8 'f_params' ARRAY(0x1922018)) thr#1800400

       will look like this:

	 -> STORE for DBD::DBM::st (DBI::st=HASH(0xN)~0xN 'f_params' ARRAY(0xN)) thrN
