how many users?

[Bruce Easton]

Richard, I would use different techniques to get some number of "filepro 
users" depending on the exact requirements.  For instance, finding the 
number of unique logins using Inquire, Update, Add, is quite different 
than finding the total processes using *clerk or *report or *runmenu.  
Should users only running Index Maint. be counted?  Or are you only 
interested in those who have locked records?  What if they are in *clerk 
and haven't even selected a file yet?  etc., etc.

For example, the following from the Unix/Linux command prompt:

ps -ef|grep -e runmenu -e clerk -e report|grep -v grep|wc -l

should return the number of processes for *clerk, *report and runmenu; 
however note that for one login, it may be running both runmenu and 
*clerk (or runmenu and *report).  (Also, note for the above command, 
that if the user called clerk somewhere with an explicit filename where 
the filename is actually "grep", the process count will be wrong because 
of the filtering in the command that discards the grep command itself.)
