A while back we needed to see how many users were logging on from a
particular account.  We didn't need anything fancy, so we took a very
simple approach and didn't include a date/time stamp.  Below is a command
script that was run every 5 minutes from a batch job.

   purge sjlist
   file sjlist;rec=-80,48,f,ascii;disc=384;nocctl;save
   showjob [log in to unmask];*sjlist
   reset sjlist
   grep.hpbin.sys "'JOBS (DISPLAYED):' SJLIST" >> jscnt

Before the command script is run for the first time, build the file "jscnt"
file with something like:

   build jscnt;rec=-80,48,f,ascii;disc=4800

Set the limit to something large enough to hold the number of samples you
want to collect.

Next, change the "user.account" ("@.comm" in the above) to whatever account
you want to monitor.

The "jscnt" file will end up looking something like:

   1 JOBS (DISPLAYED):
   6 JOBS (DISPLAYED):
   5 JOBS (DISPLAYED):
   6 JOBS (DISPLAYED):
   6 JOBS (DISPLAYED):
   4 JOBS (DISPLAYED):
   5 JOBS (DISPLAYED):
   6 JOBS (DISPLAYED):
   4 JOBS (DISPLAYED):

Note that the "grep" won't find a line to append to the file if there are
no users logged onto the specified account, so the "jscnt" file won't grow
when there are no users logged on.

Hope this helps,

John
