There is a syntactical error in the question
The Actual command should be like
$(date;ps -ef | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq | wc -l ) >>
Activity.log
Answer::
"date" command gives the date
"ps -ef" -- gives all the process informations
awk '{print $1}'--- cuts the first column in the processes
(which is the usernames)
sort-- sorts all the usernames
uniq-- gives unique usernames
"wc -l" -- gives the total number of users running process
In compact--- The command displays the date and the number
of users(not repeated) who are executing some process.
The result when Activitylog is viwed after the execution
should be like
