RE: Counting users -- MIDRANGE-L

Mark,

This was my first approach. Use the listjobs API, load em into a user index
and read the index to group and count em. Unfortunately, a user signed on
to multiple terminals needs to be counted more than once. And because of
that, you can't distinquish between a single terminal/multiple sessions vs
a multiple terminal user.
