As far as I know SNMP will give the number of persistent IMAP
connections. (same as your ps -ef | grep imap ) What you really want
is the number of squirrelmail sessions. Of course, since users do not
have to use the logout link, you can't just count the /tmp/sess_*
session files. Maybe if you do a count of all session files with a
modification time more recent then your squirrelmail session timeout you
will get a reasonable approximation. Try the squirrelmail lists to see
if anyone has any ideas on this.

Can it be done ?
Yes, through SNMP. Good luck getting it to work, and a word of caution:
unless you can make 2.1 work with net-snmp 5, be *very* careful about what
you do with the ucd-snmp 4.2 daemon. Since cyrus is in slave mode (agentx
mode), it will drop the snmp connection as a hot-potatoe if the snmpd daemon
restarts or do anything else weird. And that connection will *not* come up
again. You have to restart cyrus, with an active, working and willing snmpd
already running for it to work.
