NAME

rwho − who is logged in on local machines

SYNOPSIS

rwho [ −a ] [ −u ] [ exclude_host ] ...  [ include_host ] ... 

DESCRIPTION

The rwho command produces output similar to who, but for all UNIX machines on the local network.  If no report has been received from a machine for five minutes rwho assumes the machine is down and does not report users last known to be logged into that machine. 

If a user has not typed to the system for a minute or more, rwho reports this idle time.  If a user has not typed to the system for one hour or more, the user is omitted from the output of rwho unless the −a flag is given. 

Normally, information on all hosts with entries in /usr/spool/rwho is printed.  However, if hosts to be included or excluded are given on the command line, only users on those hosts to be included are shown. 

If the −u flag is given, the output is sorted by username.  Otherwise, it is sorted by hostname.

BUGS

This is unwieldy when the number of machines on the local net is large.
