<li><code>--count</code> – Returns just the number of online users</li>
<li><code>--json</code> – Returns detailed JSON output</li>
</ul>

</code></pre>
<ul>
<li><code>--timeout</code> – Maximum time to wait (default: 300 seconds)</li>
<li><code>--check-interval</code> – How often to check (default: 30 seconds)</li>

<h4>Example Automation Scripts</h4>
<p><strong>Safe upgrade script:</strong><br />
    `bash</p>
<p>!/bin/bash</p>
<p>Only upgrade when no users are online</p>
<p>if wp active-users any –quiet; then<br />
    echo “Users are online, postponing upgrade”<br />
else<br />
    echo “No users online, safe to upgrade”<br />
    wp core update<br />
    wp plugin update –all<br />
fi<br />
    `</p>
<p><strong>Maintenance with user wait:</strong><br />
    `bash</p>
<p>Wait for users to go offline, then perform maintenance</p>
<p>wp active-users wait-clear –timeout=600 && {<br />
    wp maintenance-mode activate<br />
    wp db optimize<br />
    wp cache flush<br />
    wp maintenance-mode deactivate<br />
}<br />
    `</p>
<p><strong>Monitoring script:</strong><br />
    `bash</p>
<p>Get online user count for monitoring dashboard</p>
<p>ONLINE_COUNT=$(wp active-users any –count)<br />
if [ “$ONLINE_COUNT” -gt “100” ]; then<br />
    # Send alert about high user activity<br />
    echo “High activity: $ONLINE_COUNT users online”<br />
fi<br />
