Hit count on a shell script

I have a unix shell script (ex.sh) written.
How to find out how many users (incl. myself) have run this .sh ?
I can insert code snipet at top of script if need be.

What is your system? What is your shell?

You have to stop people from using your count file at the same time. Not knowing your system I use a fifo as a sem, you have to succeed in creating it before you can read or write the count file. Not ideal, and someone could DOS it(leave junk in /tmp/script-fifo so everyone waits forever). A database of some sort would be better but I have no idea what you have.
Code:
# Use a fifo as an ad-hoc semaphore.
# Only one script can create it at a time, the rest
# will wait.
while ! mkfifo /tmp/script-fifo 2> /dev/null
do
        sleep 1
done

COUNT=0
[ -f /path/to/countfile ] && read COUNT < /path/to/countfile
((COUNT++))
echo $COUNT > /path/to/countfile
rm -f /tmp/script-fifo

echo "script has been called $COUNT times"

...

/path/to/countfile must be a file which is writable by anyone running the script.
