whodo(1M)  —  ADMINISTRATOR COMMANDS

NAME

whodo − who is doing what

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/whodo [−h] [−l] [user]

DESCRIPTION

whodo produces formatted and dated output from information in the /var/adm/utmp, /etc/ps_data, and /proc/pid files. 

The display is headed by the date, time, and machine name.  For each user logged in, device name, user ID and login time is shown, followed by a list of active processes associated with the user ID.  The list includes the device name, process ID, CPU minutes and seconds used, and process name. 

If user is specified, output is restricted to all sessions pertaining to that user. 

The following options are available:

−h Suppress the heading. 

−l Produce a long form of output.  The fields displayed are: the user’s login name, the name of the tty the user is on, the time of day the user logged in (in hours:minutes), the idle time — that is, the time since the user last typed anything (in hours:minutes), the CPU time used by all processes and their children on that terminal (in minutes:seconds), the CPU time used by the currently active processes (in minutes:seconds), and the name and arguments of the current process.
