Counting Concurrent User?

[kmchong]

Do anybody can suggest how I can control number of
concurrent user that is running my own AP?

Any method is welcome, even writing another program-program
communication program is OK.

Any hint?

If everyone runs the app from the same place, then you could save a file (probably the Computername & ".Con") and each time the app starts, count the number of .con files in the folder. When a user closes the program, delete their file.

This could cause problems if a machine crashes though as it will leave the system with one less space for the computer (speaking from experiance!)

Cheers

Thanks chrisfricke,

As you mentioned, this definitely is a problem because it
requires a lot of administration (you know, M$ always crash)

Now I am evaluating using a chat protocol to check it.

How do you think?
