NAME
rusers - who's logged in on local machines (RPC version)
SYNOPSIS
rusers
[
-a
] [
-h
] [
-i
] [
-l
] [
-u
] [
host ...
]
DESCRIPTION
The
rusers
command produces output similar to
users(1)
and
who(1),
but for remote machines. It broadcasts on the local network,
and prints the responses it receives.
Normally, the listing is in the order that responses are received,
but this order can be
changed by specifying one of the options listed below.
When host arguments are given, rather than broadcasting
rusers
will only query the list of specified hosts.
The default is to print out a listing in the style of
users(1)
with one line per machine. When the -l flag is given, a
rwho(1)
style listing is used. In addition, if
a user hasn't typed to the system for a minute or more,
the idle time is reported.
A remote host will only respond if it is running the
rusersd
daemon, which is normally started up from
inetd.
OPTIONS
- -a
-
gives a report for a machine even if
no users are logged on.

-

- -i
-
sort by idle time.
- -l
-
Give a longer listing in the style of who(1).
