NAME

rwho − who’s logged in on local machines

SYNOPSIS

rwho [ −a ]

DESCRIPTION

The rwho command produces output similar to who, but for all machines on your network.  If no report has been received from a machine for 5 minutes, rwho assumes the machine is down, and does not report users last known to be logged into that machine. 

If a users hasn’t typed to the system for a minute or more, then rwho reports this idle time.  If a user hasn’t typed to the system for an hour or more, then the user will be omitted from the output of rwho unless the −a flag is given.

BUGS

Does not work through gateways. 

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