Use GeekTool to view the online list of a PHPBB forum

Even easier:

lynx -dump http://site/viewonline.php | grep `date +%Y`
Then you'll never need to look at this again since the year will always be correct.

A little bit cleaner...

lynx -dump -nolist http://site/viewonline.php | grep `date +%Y`

The -nolist attribute will prevent link numbers being displayed in the output.

I thought this was a really cool hint, and have kept tweaking it.

lynx -dump -nolist http://www.thomsoneducationdirect.com.au/forums/viewonline.php | grep `date +%Y` | awk '{print $1": " $8" " $9" "$10" "$11" "$12}'

This will hide the date and time so that it only shows the username and the page they are on.

eg: Brontojoris: Viewing who is online
