RWHO(1) User Commands RWHO(1)
NAME
rwho - who is logged in on local machines
SYNOPSIS
rwho [
-a]
DESCRIPTION
The
rwho command produces output similar to
who(1), but for all
machines on your network. If no report has been received from a
machine for 5 minutes,
rwho assumes the machine is down, and does not
report users last known to be logged into that machine.
If a user has not typed to the system for a minute or more,
rwho reports this idle time. If a user has not typed to the system for an
hour or more, the user is omitted from the output of
rwho unless the
-a flag is given.
OPTIONS
-a Report all users whether or not they have typed to the system
in the past hour.
FILES

rwho does not work through gateways.
The directory
/var/spool/rwho must exist on the host from which
rwho is run.
This service takes up progressively more network bandwidth as the
number of hosts on the local net increases. For large networks, the
cost becomes prohibitive.
The
rwho service daemon,
in.rwhod(8), must be enabled for this
command to return useful results.
