I count nine. Seriously, though; there's nothing there that indicates if a userid is running linux or some other utility. Being disconnected isn't significant, because someone could be connected to the console of one. I counted esaweb01 and 02 because I didn't recognize them any more than mlxap01s. I think that you use MLX as a prefix, but that'd be an internal standard, and not useful across customers. Ours tries to identify a customer in the first three characters, then P or D for production or dev. Then ZL for zlinux, then a two digit number. But it isn't totally consistent.
I think that what is sought is a definitive, non shop specific way of counting linux images. -- Robert P. Nix Mayo Foundation .~.
