Polling the server to get the number of connected clients?

Classic Servoy

Is there a way to export from or poll the server to get the number of connected clients at any given moment?

I’m asking, because I have a large ratio of users to client licenses at the moment (budgets–gotta love 'em!) and was asked if I could create a simple webpage that users could check, before trying to login, to see if there are any available licenses to use.

Something simply like: “There are Foo clients in use at this time.”

Is there something build in that I’ve over-looked (not yet a servoy-server expert) or has anyone come up with something like this on their own?

Thanks,
-Stephen

You could use a headless client or webclient to display that information. There are methods in the application node that return the connected users…

So that would basically mean creating a small single-task solution to do this?

Hmm. Interesting idea. I’ll look into it–Thanks.

Yes, that’s what I meant.
