Sorry if I caused confusion on what I am trying to achieve
1) I need to find out users currently logged on to the system.
2) I need to find out what processes they are running.
3) I need to print those processes on the screen, for each user along with their actual name.
I am assuming the only way to get the name at this point if from the “/etc/passwd” file
Can this be done without using SED or AWK?
