I agree with Mark, why is the Q N command not suitable, maybe I am missing something or don't understand what Sunny is asking. I would just write a simple PIPE grabbing count them and write them to a file or to the console along with the count.

One more approach: set something distinctive for each guest -- a printer at address FFFF, a specific accounting code, etc. -- and use that (subject to other site restrictions, of course). Or do the same for non-Linux guests and divine by elimination...
