WHO(1N) COMMAND REFERENCE WHO(1N)
NAME
who, users, u - who's logged in on local machines or on the
current host system
SYNOPSIS
who [ -q ] [ -s ] [ -H ] [ -T ] [ -N ] [who-filename]
who [ am I ]
who [ -r ] [ -H ] [remote-hosts]
users
DESCRIPTION
Who, without an argument, lists the loginname, terminal
name, login time, and idle time for each current UTek user.
The commands users and u are short forms of who that lists
only the names (equivalent to who -q).
Without an argument, who examines the /etc/utmp file to
obtain its information. If a file is given, that file is
examined. Typically the given file will be /usr/adm/wtmp,
which contains a record of all the logins, logouts, and
crashes since the creation of the wtmp file. Each login is
listed with username, terminal name (with /dev/ suppressed),
and date and time. When an argument is given, logouts
produce a similar line without a username. Reboots produce
a line with x in the place of the device name and a fossil
time indicative of when the system went down.
With the arguments, am I (or am i) who tells who you are
logged in as.
The idle time is the time since the last input by the user.
If the user is active (idle time < 1 min) a period will be
printed; if the user has left the line hanging (idle time >
24 hrs) the word "old" will be printed. It can be
suppressed with the -s switch.
The -r switch without any argument polls all machines on the
local network, and prints the output. Only machines which
provide the systat/udp service will answer (on UTek this
service is provided by udpd). If a list of hosts is given
then they are sequentially read using the systat/tcp service
(on UTek this service is usually provided by tcpd).
OPTIONS
-r[host(s)]
Report users on remote systems, if none given then use
broadcasts. This is the rwho command.
-q Report only usernames separated by spaces. This is the
users(1n) command.
-H Print out a header before the output.
