Original poster: these methods will show how many users are currently
logged in. The following will tell you have many user accounts you have
with a UID > 1000 (ie non-system accounts):
grep -v '^#' /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{ if ($3 > 1000) print $0 }' | wc -l
eg:
=== mark@mir:~$ grep -v '^#' /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{ if ($3 > 1000) print $0 }' | wc -l
5
