NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     rwho - who is logged in on local machines

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     rwho [-a]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.

HISTORY    [Toc]    [Back]

     The rwho command appeared in 4.3BSD.

BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.
