NAME
     rusers - who's logged in on local machines (RPC version)

SYNOPSIS
     rusers [ -ahilu ] [ host...  ]

DESCRIPTION
     The rusers command produces output similar to users(1) and
     who(1), but for remote machines.  It broadcasts on the local
     network, and prints the responses it receives.  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 host arguments are given, rather than
     broadcasting, rusers will only query the list of specified
     hosts.

     The default is to print out a listing in the style of
     users(1) with one line per machine.  When the -l flag is
     given, a rwho(1C) style listing is used.  In addition, if a
     user has not typed to the system for a minute or more, the
     idle time is reported.

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

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.
