NAME

rwho − Shows which users are logged in to hosts on the local network

SYNOPSIS

rwho [-a]

The rwho command displays the username, hostname, and start date and time of each session for everyone on the local network who is currently logged in to a host running the rwhod daemon. 

FLAGS

-aIncludes all users.  Without this flag, users whose sessions are idle an hour or more are not included in the report. 

DESCRIPTION

If a user has not typed anything for at least 3 minutes, rwho reports the idle time as a number of minutes in the last column.  After an hour of inactivity, a user is not included unless the -a flag is specified.  Because this command displays a lot of output, use this command with caution if the local network has a large number of users. 

Status information is broadcast once every 3 minutes by each network host running the rwhod daemon.  Any activity (such as a user logging on or off) that takes place between broadcasts is not reflected until the next broadcast. 

EXAMPLES

To get a report of all users currently logged into hosts on the local network, enter:

$ rwho
