NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       rwho  -  Shows  which  users  are logged into hosts on the
       local network.

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       rwho [-a]

       rwho [-a] [users]

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Includes all users.  Without this option, users whose sessions
  are  idle  an  hour or more are not included in the
       report.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The rwho command  displays  the  username,  hostname,  and
       start  date  and  time of each session for everyone on the
       local network who is currently logged in to a host running
       the rwhod daemon.

       If  one  or more user names are specified, only the status
       of those users whose  names  are  listed  appears  on  the
       screen.  If  a  user has not typed anything for at least 3
       minutes, rwho reports the idle time as a number of minutes
       in  the  last column.  After an hour of inactivity, a user
       is not included unless the -a option is specified. Because
       this  command  displays  a lot of output, use this command
       with caution if the local network has a  large  number  of
       users.

       Status  information  is  broadcast once every 3 minutes by
       each network host running the rwhod daemon.  Any  activity
       (such  as  a  user  logging  on  or  off) that takes place
       between broadcasts is not reflected until the next  broadcast.
