rusers(1)rusers(1)NAMErusers - Display a list of users who are logged in to a remote machine
SYNOPSISrusers [-ahilu] host...
OPTIONS
Give a report for a machine even if no users are logged in. Sort
alphabetically by host name. Sort by idle time. Give a longer listing
in the style of who(1). Sort by number of users.
DESCRIPTION
The rusers command displays information about users and processes run‐
ning on remote machines. The listing is in the order in which
responses are received, but this order can be changed by specifying one
of the options listed in the OPTIONS section.
By default the rusers command prints the names of the users logged in.
When the -l option is given, additional information is printed for each
user, as follows:
userid hostname:terminal login date login time idle time login host
If hostname and login host are the same value, the login host field
is not displayed. Likewise, if hostname is not idle, the idle time is
not displayed. A remote host only responds if it is running the rusersd
daemon, which may be started from the inetd daemon or the listen func‐
tion.
