Automation Commands

Check if any users are online (for scripting):

• --quiet – Returns exit code only (0 = users online, 1 = no users online)
• --count – Returns just the number of online users
• --json – Returns detailed JSON output

Wait until no users are online:

• --timeout – Maximum time to wait (default: 300 seconds)
• --check-interval – How often to check (default: 30 seconds)
• --quiet – Suppress progress messages

Example Automation Scripts

Safe upgrade script: `bash

!/bin/bash

Only upgrade when no users are online

if wp active-users any –quiet; then echo "Users are online, postponing upgrade" else echo "No users online, safe to upgrade" wp core update wp plugin update –all fi `

Maintenance with user wait: `bash

Wait for users to go offline, then perform maintenance

wp active-users wait-clear –timeout=600 && { wp maintenance-mode activate wp db optimize wp cache flush wp maintenance-mode deactivate } `

Monitoring script: `bash

Get online user count for monitoring dashboard

ONLINE_COUNT=$(wp active-users any –count) if [ "$ONLINE_COUNT" -gt "100" ]; then # Send alert about high user activity echo "High activity: $ONLINE_COUNT users online" fi `

These commands make it easy to create maintenance scripts that respect user activity, ensuring updates and maintenance tasks only run when appropriate.
