rwho(1C)                        TCP/IP R4.11                        rwho(1C)


NAME
       rwho - find out who in the local network is logged in

SYNOPSIS
       rwho [ -a ]

DESCRIPTION
       At some installations, each system in a local area network runs the
       rwhod agent, which exchanges status information at 3-minute intervals
       with the other systems in the network. Use rwho(1C) to find out, from
       the rwhod agent running on your host, which LAN users are logged in.
       The display is similar to that of who(1).

       Whether rwhod runs on LAN hosts (by default it does not) is left to
       the discretion of the host or LAN coordinator.  If no rwhod process
       has run on your host in the last eleven minutes, typing rwho has no
       effect.  The command line prompt returns without any action.

       If eleven minutes have elapsed since rwhod has received a report from
       a LAN host, rwho(1C) reports no information about its users.

       If more than a minute but less than an hour has lapsed since a user
       has entered keyboard input, rwho reports this as idle time. If more
       than an hour has lapsed since input, no idle time is reported unless
       you use the -a switch, in which case all lapsed time over a minute is
       reported as idle time.

       The rwhod agent, from which rwho gets its information, reports
       information about only the first 58 users on each host.

EXAMPLES
       Display LAN users by login name, giving each's host and line number,
       the date and time of login, and idle time. Report all idle time.
