concurrent connection tracking

Does anyone know of a way to track the number of concurrent connections to a database?
For some reason the License High Water Mark in the alert log isn't good enough - because it tells the truth: at one point one of our databases had a bunch of runaway processes and there were 591 concurrent connections. My boss doesn't think that's good enough.

I can't think of a way other than auditing and/or enabling some sort of sqlnet tracing (please no...)
or my usual response: write a ksh script to do it for me. I'm thinking the latter will do fine, but if there is something in Oracle I am not aware of I'd like to hear of it.

Thanks
Lisa
