    I'm working on a mod to turn on a light when I have active nodes - however sometimes the light will stay on after someone logs off, even when no one else is logged in - but there is a active connection by a bot, scanner, or network call of some kind. I'm currently using server.clients to get this number but it's leaving the light on (and not in a good Motel 6 kind of way)

    Is there a better way to get the number of actual nodes with a user actually logged in?

    Iterate through the system.node_list array and count up how many have a status property value of NODE_INUSE (defined in load/nodedefs.js). Or just simply set/return true if *any* of them are in-use (you don't need the actual total).

    That should leave the light on for ya only when there's an actual rent-paying customer. :-)
