Re: Concurrent users logged in

Try

netstat -na |grep "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy" | cut -c45- | cut -d':' -f1 |
sort | uniq | wc -l

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip number of your proxy machine and yyyy is
the port number it runs on.
You may have to fiddle with the cut values to get what you are looking
for.
It is not very accurate but will give you an idea. Hope it helps

 There are only two industries that refer to their customers as "users"
