rusers(1N)                                             rusers(1N)



NAME
     rusers - produces a  login  list  for  local  machines  (RPC
     version)

SYNOPSIS
     rusers [-a] [-h] [-i] [-l] [-u] [host]...

ARGUMENTS
     -a   Gives a report for a machine even if no users are
          logged on.

     -h   Sorts alphabetically by host name.

     host Queries only the list of specified hosts, rather than
          broadcasting to the entire network.

     -i   Sorts by idle time.

     -l   Gives a longer listing in the style of who(1).  In
          addition, if a user hasn't typed to the system for a
          minute or more, the idle time is reported.

     -u   Sorts by number of users.

DESCRIPTION
     The rusers command produces output similar to users(1) and
     who(1), but for remote machines.  It broadcasts on the local
     network and prints the responses it receives.  Normally, the
     listing is in the order that responses are received, but
     this order can be changed by specifying one of the options
     listed later.

     The default is to print out a listing in the style of
     users(1) with one line per machine.

     A remote host will respond only if it is running the rusersd
     daemon, which is normally started up from inetd.

FILES
     /usr/etc/rusers
