I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.4 and when I start openNMS using this command:

service opennms start:

I can see a lot of process like this:

ps -ef | grep opennms

I wonder why I have a lot of process, are they harmless? How can I avoid this situation?

This was explained in your previous question. Why would you think this is a problem given that you know that OpenNMS depends on PostgreSQL?

Many Postgresql process. how to handle them?

What you're seeing are postgres processes, not opennms processes. You can tweak the Postgres setup if you want--to reduce the number of processes--but there's also a lot of shared memory which makes the memory usage seem much higher than it is. So unless you are experiencing reduced performance or other issues, I would say its not a problem.
