actually, on my system (FC4) your command results in:
$ w | head -1 | awk '{print $6}'
users,
$
which is not really what you want to put into that metric :-)
Apparently yours seem to report "min," which would be "$4" on my
system. The number of users would be "$5". Maybe different versions of
"procps"?
Hmm. Weird. Just played around with the setting of "LANG" and not the
command reports "load" instead of "users,". Really weird .....
