NAME

4     rusers — who is logged in to machines on local network
5

SYNOPSIS

7     rusers [-al] [host ...]
8

DESCRIPTION

10     The rusers command produces output similar to who, but for the list of
11     hosts or all machines on the local network. For each host responding to
12     the rusers query, the hostname with the names of the users currently
13     logged on is printed on each line. The rusers command will wait for one
14     minute to catch late responders.
15
16     The following options are available:
17
18     -a      Print all machines responding even if no one is currently logged
19             in.
20
21     -l      Print a long format listing. This includes the user name, host
22             name, tty that the user is logged in to, the date and time the
23             user logged in, the amount of time since the user typed on the
24             keyboard, and the remote host they logged in from (if applica‐
25             ble).

DIAGNOSTICS

28     rusers: RPC: Program not registered
29             The rpc.rusersd(8) daemon has not been started on the remote
30             host.
31
32     rusers: RPC: Timed out
33             A communication error occurred.  Either the network is exces‐
34             sively congested, or the rpc.rusersd(8) daemon has terminated on
35             the remote host.
36
37     rusers: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
38             The remote host is not running the portmapper (see portmap(8) ),
39             and cannot accomodate any RPC-based services.  The host may be
40             down.
