RWHO(TC) UNIX System V
Name
rwho - Who is logged in on local network
Syntax
rwho [ -a ]
Description
The rwho command lists users logged in on machines on the
local network. The format is similar to that of who(C).
Without options, only users who have typed in the last hour
are listed. For each user listed, rwho displays the user
name; the host name; and the date and time the user logged
in. If the user has not typed in the last minute, rwho also
displays the user's idle time in hours and minutes.
The rwho command understands the following option:
-a List all users on active nodes. (Users idle for
more than an hour are listed.)
If information from a host is more than five minutes old,
the host is assumed to be down and its users are not listed.
Requirements
Each host to be listed must be running the rwhod(ADMN)
server, which broadcasts a status packet once every 1 - 3
minutes. The local host must also be running this server to
maintain the data files. Since broadcasts do not cross
gateways, hosts on other networks will not be listed.
Files
/usr/spool/rwho/whod.* information about other nodes
