[imp] Correct way to measure amount of current users

[Marcelo Maraboli]

Hello.

I´m trying to find out how many users are logged into IMP at
one instant and NOT using a MySQL query, so...

Is it correct to count the number of "on-line" users in IMP by
counting the session files in /tmp ??

i.e.
ls -l /tmp | grep sess | wc -l

In other words, does a single session file correspond to a single
logged in user ??

regards,
