One thing I do, on Windows 2000, is use Performance Monitor to track the
current number of anonymous users. That way, I can see people who are only
using HTML pages or might not have logged out correctly.

Thank you for your response.
The problem is that most users, if not
all, do not logout.
I have never used the timeoutHTML or
queryTimeout and the user's guide is too smart for me. I do not understand
what query they are talking about. And how invoking an html file will
let me identify the user var?
There is also
a variableTimeoutTrigger which can start a URL when a variable
lifetime is about to expire, but even using this one is not clear how I can
identify the var that is about to expire. Or at least it is not clear to me.
Does anybody have an example?
Now, even if the above method would work,
this implies a lot of overhead if the expiry of each variable implies some
processing. I do not need to have that information at all times. I only need
this information on a by request basis. In my opinion, there should be a way
to ask the server which users (or variables) are still active. And the
response should be probably a table of variables based on
<@userReferenceArgument>.

If you have a login process, you could have a domain variable keeping
track of users logged in.
When a user logs in,
when a user logs out or times out (you can set a timeout trigger
file):
you could also get fancy and maybe keep a table of the userref's of all
logged in users and some of their info so that you had more detailed info
about who was logged in.
hope this helps,
Atrix

Hello all,
Is there a way to find out the number of users that are
(technically speaking) logged in?
What I need to find out is if there are users that are using the system
at the time when I need to take the system down.
It would be nice to be able find out how many users are logged in, who
and for how long since there last request.
I know I can do this programmatically, but it means basically, every
page will be affected.
Instead I assume it should be a way to interrogate the server about the
status of the vars (the server knows this info because it purges
the vars at timeout).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Mike.
