- Hi all.
-
- Some month ago someone posted an article with the following
- commandsequence to show the number of users online. I tried
- to figure out what kind of ("system-")service this could be.
- Its neither a lexical function nor a regular command. I've
- never seen that before and I could not find any information
- in one of the manuals.
-
- Can someone explain me, what this is, how it works, where I can find more
- information about it and if there are other similar constructions
- that one can use. I find this very usefull.
