Hiya

Using gkrellm 2.2.2 with SuSE 9.2 on my workstation, I get a report of 6 users. A 'ps -ef | less' and a quick count up shows : me, root, nobody, lp and postfix. I count that as 5 users.

I'm not happy with nobody being there and will be looking into that, but I wonder is anyone else seeing this with gkrellm/Suse 9.2 ? And/or does anyone have any idea why this might be happening or if there is another way to check the number of users on the system?

what does  "w -f" say?

lesleyb :0 console 10:42 ?xdm? 36.66s 0.12s -:0
lesleyb pts/0 - 10:42 5:52 0.00s 0.49s kdeinit: kded
lesleyb pts/1 - 10:43 0.00s 18.91s 0.00s w -f


(with line wrap on the 2nd line ) using KDE window manager with thunderbird and a console screen open.

I've just booted up after being away and gkrellm currently reports 3 users. I've still got root, nobody, lp and postfix listed in a 'ps -ef'.

'w -f' results after opening a second console :

10:53:16 up 13 min, 4 users, load average: 0.38, 0.81, 1.05
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
lesleyb :0 console 10:42 ?xdm? 54.56s 0.12s -:0
lesleyb pts/0 - 10:42 10:47 0.00s 0.50s kdeinit: kded
lesleyb pts/1 - 10:43 44.00s 27.16s 0.05s /bin/bash
lesleyb pts/4 - 10:53 0.00s 0.04s 0.00s w -f

and gkrellm shows 4 users.

My guess is a mix of how gkrellm counts users and whatever SuSE/KDE does to open a console.
