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.
