rusers(1C)                        ONC 5.4.2                       rusers(1C)


NAME
       rusers - who's logged in on local machines (RPC version)

SYNOPSIS
       rusers [ -ahilu ] [ host...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       The rusers command produces output similar to 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 below.  When host arguments are given,
       rather than broadcasting rusers will only query the list of specified
       hosts.

       When the -l flag is given, a rwho(1C) style listing is used.  In
       addition, if a user has not typed to the system for a minute or more,
       the idle time is reported.

       A remote host will only respond if it is running the rusersd server,
       which is normally started up from inetd(1M).

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

       -h     Sort alphabetically by host name.

       -i     Sort by idle time.

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

       -u     Sort by number of users.

FILES
       /etc/servers

SEE ALSO
       inetd(1M), rwho(1C), rusersd(1M), who(1).

BUGS
       Broadcasting does not work through gateways.
