Your not very bright are you? for one, there is no god. Secondly you
failed to see what I introduced into the equation in the mod.. now pay
attention Mr. not walking erectus...

this was the line in question:
[00:12am]-root@dissent~# pstat -t | grep 'tty[pqrsPQRS]' | wc -l
10
my addition:
[00:12am]-root@dissent~# pstat -t | grep 'tty[pqrsPQRS]' | grep OCc | wc
-l
3
your solution:
[00:17am]-root@dissent~# pstat -t | grep -ic 'tty[pqrs]'
10

And the winner for number of terminals 'actually' open? definately not
yours Mr. save a fork.
Thanks for comming out though.
