how many users?

[Bruce Easton]

Regarding my last note about exception to the command example, the 
portion "grep -v grep" would filter out from the count any process line 
that has "grep" anywhere in it (part of a file/format/processing name), 
so it would be safer to leave that out and just subtract 1 from the 
count returned (for the grep command itself).
