rusers - Display a list of users who are logged in to a remote machine
rusers [-ahilu] host...
Give a report for a machine even if no users are logged
in.
Sort alphabetically by host name.
Sort by idle time.
Give a longer listing in the style of
who(1).
Sort by number of users.
The rusers command displays information about users and processes running on remote machines. The listing is in the order in which responses are received, but this order can be changed by specifying one of the options listed in the OPTIONS section.
By default the rusers command prints the names of the users logged in. When the -l option is given, additional information is printed for each user, as follows:
userid hostname:terminal login date login time idle time login host
If
hostname
and
login host
are the same value, the
login host
field is not
displayed. Likewise, if
hostname
is not idle,
the
idle time
is not displayed. A remote host only
responds if it is running the
rusersd
daemon, which may
be started from the
inetd
daemon or the
listen
function.
