NAME
rwho —
who is logged in on local
machines
SYNOPSIS
rwho |
[-a] |
DESCRIPTION
The rwho command produces output similar
to who(1), but for all machines on the local network. If no report has
been received from a machine for 11 minutes then
rwho assumes the machine is down, and does not
report users last known to be logged into that machine.
If a user 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.
FILES
- /var/rwho/whod.*
- information about other machines

HISTORY
The rwho command appeared in
4.3BSD.
BUGS
The rwho protocol only supports up to
eight character login names even though OpenBSD
supports much longer ones. Long login names will be truncated.
rwho is unwieldy when the number of
machines on the local net is large.
