Count how many times your Wordpress login page has been requested

With all of the hacking and botnet activity probing Wordpress sites the past few months, you might wonder how many times your Wordpress login page (wp-login.php) has been requested. Here's a command that you can run from the terminal prompt to see:

/home/user $ grep -c wp-login access.log

On my personal Wordpress site, I found the following results:

• May 5th to 12th - 598 http requests 
• May 12th to 19th - 7,555 http requests
•  May 19th to 22nd - 55 http requests

Very interesting indeed.
