rusers(1)							     rusers(1)

NAME
       rusers - determine who is logged in on machines on local network

SYNOPSIS
       [host ...]

DESCRIPTION
       produces output similar to the "quick" option of who(1), but for remote
       machines.  It broadcasts on the local network and prints the  responses
       it  receives.   Though  the  listing  is	 normally  in  the  order that
       responses are received, the order can be changed by specifying  a  com‐
       mand-line option.  The broadcast process takes about two minutes.

       When  host  arguments  are given, instead of broadcasting, only queries
       the list of specified hosts.

       For each machine, the default is to print a line listing the host  name
       and  all	 users on that host.  When the option is given, uses an output
       format similar to rwho(1).  If a user has not typed on the system for a
       minute or more, the idle time is reported.

       A remote host only responds if it is running the rusersd(1M) daemon.

   Options
       recognizes the following command-line options:

	      Give  a  report  for a machine even if no users are logged in on
	      it.

	      Sort alphabetically by host name.

	      Sort by idle time.

	      Give a longer listing in the style of
		      (see who(1)).

	      Sort by number of users.

RETURN VALUE
       returns exit code zero if  no  errors  are  encountered;	 otherwise  it
       returns the number of errors found.

WARNINGS
       Broadcasting does not work through gateways; therefore, does not report
       information about machines that are reached only through gateways.
