my "who" command outputs 5 fields:
- username
- terminal
- date
- time
- ip

i think (cut -d" ") deals with each space " " as a separate field, so that's why i end up using 13, 14. I'm sure someone mentioned that in a reply to one of my posts

here is an output from my ./temp file, which is exactly the same as my "who" output
