Re: [SLE] uptime and users

uptime on our 9.2 nfs/nis server with an estimated 21 users logged in gives me this:

3 users, load average: 1.30, 1.37, 1.24

What does users refer to in this context?

Users is the number of accunts that have passed the login counter on the local machine: - The graphical login sometimes counts 1, sometimes counts none. - logins using telnet, rlogin and ssh all count as 1. - logins using rsh, rexec (and other protocols) most likely donnot count as 1. - sometimes running terminal sessions (xterm, kdeterm and such) do count as 1. - sometimes running interactive shells (sh, bash, csh, tcsh, ksh) do count as 1. It is all up to the running application to update the login-counter. CBee
