AIX- a good point, but to save myself from the wrath of Geek agression, I placed myself in the "Dummy forum".
Even when we use IBMs Unix we bite only rarely. ;-)

If you do that on a (or even several) production machine(s): Please try the procedure on a test machine before using it!

I really hate to damage my reputation but: i make errors. (Letting pass my carreer actually a lot of them: it is called professional experience.) So please: don't take my word without testing what i say. If you want to destroy a lot of machines with a single error please do not rely on me to provide it - make your own ones.

Regarding the "cmd_to_exec()" function out of SMIT: you don't even have to understand what it does. Copy the whole function into a file (the content of a function is - like in C - everything from "{" to "}") and the line with the function call below it. Then save the file, issue a "chmod 755 <filename>" and you have a ready-to-go script you can use on all of your machines.

Again: test it first before you go over the productive machines. SMIT is written by guys like me and they make errors too (but they bite rarely).

I hope this helps and all the best for your change.

Idle time is shown as: If a user has not typed to the system for a minute or more, reports this as idle time. If a user has not typed to the system for an hour or more, the user is omitted from output unless the flag is given. An example output line from would look similar to: This output line could be interpreted as is logged into and his terminal line is has been logged on since September 12 at 13:28 (1:28 p.m.). has not typed anything into for 11 minutes.
