Howdy,

Is there an @CODE that tells you the number of currently active users are logged in?

You can find a complete listing for the Synchronet @Codes at

I don't think so. There's the "WHO" @-code which lists the active nodes. Were you wanting just a count of active nodes?

Does active mean there is a live connection (whether logged in or not) - then yes, that would be OK.

It might be nice to also know how many logged in users are also on.

I was wanting to change my main menu, to essentially show "the count of other people currently online". Not that I expect there to be many, but it saves me from going /L to see if somebody is still on.

IE: I would have:

Users Online: 1

Got any good ideas for the @-code itself?

Here are my ideas (but none that I like that much):

UNODES (nodes in-use)
NINUSE (nodes in-use)
ANODES (active nodes)
TINUSE (total nodes in-use)

Trying to keep it short (cause it is going to expand typically to a 1-2 digit number), but not too cryptic.

And it would be trivial to add another @-code which just reported the number of
*other* nodes in-use (excluding yourself):

ONODES (other nodes in-use) ?

Yeah, I like "short" too - since it makes it easier with the editing of the ANSI screens.

How about NA which is Nodes Active (with a current live connection right?)

You could then also have a UA which is users "active", or LI users logged in...
(if you delineate a node with a connection vs a node with a logged in user). ...ëîå*

"NA" could mean so many thing things though, I try to use at least *somewhat* descriptive @-codes these days. I could also have a 2-char alias for those that
need/want to use it.

I'm thinking that only nodes with logged-in users are counted. So, not counting
nodes that are offline or have users registering as new or in the process of logging-in, etc. And web / other server logged-in users would not be counted.
