#277, "New command: Users"


          

Now that we almost have 24 hours of data, I figure I'll post this...


Syntax: users

This command will give a display of the number of users over the past 24 hours.


100 |

This may be more effort than you'll want to invest, but...

"Max users per hour" might be more descriptive, or maybe some sort of floating average.

By "max users per hour" I mean the highest number of users logged in at any one point during each 1-hour interval.

Or be nifty and give both max and min. To display, use some character other than asterisk for min. So a given column might look like:



60 | ***
55 | ***
50 | ***
45 | ***
40 | ###
35 | ###
30 | ###
25 | ###
20 | ###
15 | ###
10 | ###
5  | ###
---------
Time:15

That's how it works right now.

A possibility, we'll see.

On second thought, it might not be worth listing min values unless reboots were accounted for. Any hour in which there was a reboot/crash would have a min value of zero. So much for that idea.
