For starters I have been just trying to figure out the formatting of using the sed command with the who command. I have been trying w | sed and I am getting a weird result. Im guessing im barking up the wrong tree by trying to pipe w with sed. I was not able to find any similar examples in our book "Unix Shell Programing".

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
