how many users are online at a particular time ?

[khilari]

Hi guys, i used uptime to get the info of how many users are online at a particular time, but it doesnt really give me an accurate answer. It only shows 2 users only root. I asked someone to login and even after him logging the uptime showed 2 users??. Is there any other command i can use to know how many users are online at a particular time?. Thanks alot

'who' will give you this information. Pipe it through 'wc' to get a count... 'who | wc -l'.

Let me know if that works for you.

Another useful command is 'users'. It prints usernames of curently logged in users.
