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.
