NAME

       rusers - determine who is logged in on machines on local network

SYNOPSIS

       [host ...]

DESCRIPTION

       produces  output  similar  to  the  "quick"  option  of who(1), but for remote machines.  It broadcasts on the local network and prints the
       responses it receives.  Though the listing is normally in the order that responses are received, the order can be changed by  specifying  a
       command-line option.  The broadcast process takes about two minutes.

       When host arguments are given, instead of broadcasting, only queries the list of specified hosts.

       For  each machine, the default is to print a line listing the host name and all users on that host.  When the option is given, uses an out-
       put format similar to rwho(1).  If a user has not typed on the system for a minute or more, the idle time is reported.

       A remote host only responds if it is running the rusersd(1M) daemon.

   Options
       recognizes the following command-line options:

	      Give a report for a machine even if no users are logged in on it.

	      Sort alphabetically by host name.

	      Sort by idle time.

	      Give a longer listing in the style of
		      (see who(1)).

	      Sort by number of users.

RETURN VALUE

       returns exit code zero if no errors are encountered; otherwise it returns the number of errors found.

WARNINGS

       Broadcasting does not work through gateways; therefore, does not report information about machines that are reached only through gateways.
