  rwho(1)                             CLIX                             rwho(1)



  NAME

    rwho - Lists users logged in to machines on the local network

  SYNOPSIS

    rwho [-a]

  FLAGS

    -a   Includes in the listing users idle more than an hour.

  DESCRIPTION

    The rwho command displays information, similar to the output for the who
    command, for all machines on the local network running the rwhod daemon.
    The status data produced by rwho is provided by packets broadcast by each
    host once every three minutes.  If a report has not been received from a
    machine for five minutes, rwho assumes the machine is down and does not
    report users last known to be logged into that machine.

    If a user has not typed to the system for a minute or more, rwho reports
    this idle time.  If a user has not typed to the system for an hour or
    more, the user is omitted from the output of rwho (unless the -a flag is
    specified).

  EXAMPLES

    1.  To list users logged in to machines on the local network, enter:

        rwho


    2.  To list users logged in to machines on the local network including
        those users idle for over an hour, enter:

        rwho -a


  FILES

    /usr/spool/rwho/whod.*  Data files containing information about each
                            machine.

  NOTES

    For local networks where the number of hosts running rwhod is excessive,
    or the number of users on these hosts is excessive, the rwho command
    generates an unwieldy amount of data.
