Working on that... it looks simple, but the code isn't giving me what I expected...<br>/me grumbles looking at unknown APIs...<div class="im HOEnZb"><br><br clear="all">Marc-André LAVERDIÈRE<br>"Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, <br>

</div>Maybe more interesting than "nobody logged on" would be "system load<br>
very low", e.g. "load <= 0.1*(number of cores)", possibly combined<br>
with "free memory + memory used for cache >= threshold".<br>

#include <utmpx.h><br>
<br>
struct utmpx *getutxent(void);<br>
struct utmpx *getutxid(const struct utmpx *);<br>
struct utmpx *getutxline(const struct utmpx *);<br>
struct utmpx *pututxline(const struct utmpx *);<br>
void setutxent(void);<br>
void endutxent(void);<br>
<br>
is the POSIX/SUS interface to do that. Or just run "/usr/bin/who -q"<br>
