NAME
rusers - who is logged in to machines on local network
SYNOPSIS
rusers [-al] [host ...]
DESCRIPTION
The rusers command produces output similar to who, but for the list of
hosts or all machines on the local network. For each host responding to
the rusers query, the hostname with the names of the users currently
logged on is printed on each line. The rusers command will wait for one
minute to catch late responders.
The following options are available:
-a Print all machines responding even if no one is currently logged
in.
-l Print a long format listing. This includes the user name, host
name, tty that the user is logged in to, the date and time the
user logged in, the amount of time since the user typed on the
keyboard, and the remote host they logged in from (if
applicable).
DIAGNOSTICS
rusers: RPC: Program not registered
The rpc.rusersd(8) daemon has not been started on the remote
host.
rusers: RPC: Timed out
A communication error occurred. Either the network is
excessively congested, or the rpc.rusersd(8) daemon has
terminated on the remote host.
rusers: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
The remote host is not running the portmapper (see portmap(8) ),
and cannot accomodate any RPC-based services. The host may be
down.
