Unique Result
Good day folks,
I am trying to get the logged in users with the 'users' command, but I am having difficulty in making the name of users to appear only ONCE even if they are currenly logged in more than one terminal. I could not use uniq becuase that only work with lines, but the users command does not print the result in lines. many thanks in advance |
