NAME
rusers - who is logged in to machines on local
network
SYNOPSIS
rusers [-al ] [host ... ]
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.rusersd8 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.rusersd8 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.
