NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     rusers -- who is logged in to machines on local network

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     rusers [-al] [host ...]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The rusers command produces output similar to who, 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 one
     minute to catch late responders.

     The following options are available:

     -a      Print all machines responding even if no one is currently logged
	     in.

     -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).

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

     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 accomodate any RPC-based services.  The host may be
	     down.
