NAME¶
rusers —
who is logged in to machines on local network
DESCRIPTION¶
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¶
- 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.
HISTORY¶
The rusers command appeared in SunOS.
BUGS¶
The sorting options are not implemented.
