rusers(1N)                                             rusers(1N)



     NAME
          rusers - give login list for local machines (RPC version)

     SYNOPSIS
          rusers [-a] [-h] [-i] [-l] [-u] [host ...]

     DESCRIPTION
          The rusers command produces output similar to users(1) and
          who(1), but for remote machines.  It broadcasts on the local
          network and prints the responses it receives.  Normally, the
          listing is in the order that responses are received, but
          this order can be changed by specifying one of the options
          listed later.  When host arguments are given, rusers will
          query only the list of specified hosts, rather than broad-
          casting to the entire network.

          The default is to print out a listing in the style of
          users(1) with one line per machine.  When the -l flag option
          is given, a rwho(1) style listing is used.  In addition, if
          a user hasn't typed to the system for a minute or more, the
          idle time is reported.

          A remote host will respond only if it is running the rusersd
          daemon, which is normally started up from inetd.

     FLAG OPTIONS
          -a   Gives a report for a machine even if no users are
               logged on.

          -h   Sorts alphabetically by host name.

          -i   Sorts by idle time.

          -l   Gives a longer listing in the style of who(1).

          -u   Sorts by number of users.
