NAME
rusers —
who is logged in to machines on local
network
SYNOPSIS
rusers |
[-al] [-h |
-i | -u]
[hosts ...] |
DESCRIPTION
The rusers command produces output similar
to who(1), but
for the list of hosts or all machines on the local network. For each host
responding to the rusers query, the hostname with the names of the users
currently logged on is printed on each line. The
rusers command will wait for 30 seconds to catch
late responders.
The options are as follows:
-a- Print all machines responding even if no one is currently logged in.
-h- Sort alphabetically by hostname.
-i- Sort by idle time in ascending order. Unlike other implementations, when
the
-iand-lflags are mixed the output is sorted by the idle time of each individual user. If the-lflag is not specified, the idle time for a machine is considered to be the lowest idle time of a user on that host. -l- Print a long format listing. This includes the user name, host name, tty that the user is logged in to, the date and time the user logged in, the amount of time since the user typed on the keyboard, and the remote host they logged in from (if applicable).
-u- Sort by number of users logged in.
ENVIRONMENT
COLUMNS- If set to a positive integer, output is formatted to the given width in
columns. Otherwise,
rusersdefaults to the terminal width, or 80 columns if the output is not a terminal.
DIAGNOSTICS
- rusers: RPC: Program not registered
- The rpc.rusersd(8) daemon has not been started on the remote host.
- rusers: RPC: Timed out
- A communication error occurred. Either the network is excessively congested, or the rpc.rusersd(8) daemon has terminated on the remote host.
- rusers: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
- The remote host is not running the portmapper (see portmap(8)), and cannot accommodate any RPC-based services. The host may be down.
