rusers(1)                                                  rusers(1)


       NAME
             rusers - who's logged in on local machines

       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.

       USAGE
             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 the host arguments are given,
             rather than broadcasting, rusers will only query the list of
             specified hosts.

             The default is to print out the names of the users logged in,
             with one line per machine.  When the -l flag is given,
             additional information is printed for each user, including
             idle time, when user logged in, and tty.

             A remote host will only respond if it is running the
             rusersd(1M) daemon, which may be started up from inetd(1M) or
             listen(1M).

          Options
             rusers takes the following 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.

       REFERENCES
             inetd(1M), listen(1M), pmadm(1M), rusersd(1M), sacadm(1M),
             who(1)
