RWHO(1)

RWHO(1) | General Commands Manual | RWHO(1)

# NAME

`rwho` —
who is logged in on local machines

# SYNOPSIS

`rwho` | [`-aHq`]

# DESCRIPTION

The `rwho` command produces output similar to who(1), but for all machines on the local network. If no report has been received from a machine for 11 minutes then `rwho` assumes the machine is down, and does not report the users last known to be logged into that machine.

If a user hasn't typed to the system for a minute or more, then `rwho` reports this idle time.

`-a`
  Include all users. By default, if a user hasn't typed to the system for an hour or more, then the user will be omitted from the output.
`-H`
  Write column headings above the regular output.
`-q`
  “Quick mode”: List only the names and the number of users currently logged on. When this option is used, all other options are ignored.

# BUGS

This is unwieldy when the number of machines on the local net is large.
