Hello Pedro,

At this time, Pyro hasn't got a public API to do this.
There's an item on the todo list though to add something like this (but until now, it
hasn't really been requested before)

Your best bet now would probably be to override Daemon._handshake in a subclass or
monkeypatch it, and let it track the number of connection handshakes it receives.
There's no way of knowing when a client went away though...

For a multiplexing server you could count the Daemon.transportServer.sockets list, which
contains all active client sockets and the daemon server socket. This makes no sense on
the threadpool server though (it will always only contain the daemon's server socket).

Maybe you can define "inactive daemon" more precisely so that we might think of a
possible other solution to your problem?
