rusers —
who is
logged in to machines on local network
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).
- 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.
