Yes, I need to know how many different people are on our website. We just launched this program and already have over 10k members, so the problem is that there are people on this website all the time.

Therefore If I make a change to the core files, and someone is loading the file they get an error. I want to minimize that so it would be very helpful if I can figure out how many people are on the main scripts which there are two of them the index.cgi script and the members.cgi script, both of them load the same core files. So if I can figure out how many different people are on them I can try to upload the files when there are none, or just a few. I can pass a message to all visitors that says "we are updating a core file if you get an error please wait 2 minutes and try again. sorry for the inconvenience... blah blah... whatever..." Anyhow, I try to keep each file a small file, like 2k lines or less, then I just pull each file in from the main core file. That way when I upload it uploads really fast, so it does not cause much interuption.

I appreciate everything.
thx,
Richard
