Java No of Users in Unix
Hi All,

Is there any command or any way to find out no of users active in unix system without using any file(like /etc/password).

Help me please.

The who command shows active users. Try either
Code:
who -q
#on linux
who --count

who|wc -l

who -q

Advanced 'who'
'who' is the normal way.

An alternative is the following which shows a list of userids that are active:
ps --no-headers -eo euser,ruser,suser,fuser | sort -u

both of these can be piped through 'wc -l' to count them
