Using rwho

For each user logged into a network host, rwho displays an information line with the following format:

user host.line month day hours:minutes hours:minutes

user: The user's login name.
host: The host to which the user is logged in. Only hosts running the rwhod daemon will be displayed.
line: The user's terminal line.
month day: The date the user logged in.
hours:minutes: The time the user logged in (in 24-hour clock notation).
hours:minutes: The amount of time the user has been idle (in 24-hour clock notation).

With rwho, you can list either of the following:

Users on network hosts who are active or who have been idle for less than one hour.
All users logged into network hosts, regardless of the amount of time any of them has been idle.

rwho gets its information by broadcasting a query to the local area network. Only hosts running the rwhod daemon will respond to the query.

rwho's list of users can get very long when a large number of users are logged into network hosts.




	NOTE: `rwho` is not supported across X.25 links or networks using the PPL (SLIP) product.

For more information, type man 1 rwho at the HP-UX prompt.
