Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers IP details for Unix/Linux login clients? Post 7040 by ghoti on Tuesday 18th of September 2001 06:24:25 AM

In case it is of any use to you, I have had a go on a solaris machine at work, and I came up with a rough version of an equivelant that should work for you on Solaris. I have run this on a Solaris box with success, so hopefully this will work.

Code:
NAME=`who am i | awk '{ print $1 }'`
#get NAME of person logged in

HOSTS=`finger -sfw $NAME | awk '{ print $5 }'`
#finger NAME to get name of users machine

IP=`/usr/sbin/ping -sn $HOSTS 1 1 | grep from | awk '{ print $4 }'`
#ping users machine once with 1 byte to get IP address back
#As I do not have control of what is installed on this machine
#I was limited to the commands I could use....

echo $IP

I hope this is of some help?

NAME
rwho -- who is logged in on local machines SYNOPSIS
rwho [-a] DESCRIPTION
The rwho command produces output similar to who, but for all machines on the local network. If no report has been received from a machine for 11 minutes then rwho assumes the machine is down, and does not report users last known to be logged into that machine. If a users hasn't typed to the system for a minute or more, then rwho reports this idle time. If a user hasn't typed to the system for an hour or more, then the user will be omitted from the output of rwho unless the -a flag is given. FILES
/var/spool/rwho/whod.* information about other machines SEE ALSO
finger(1), rup(1), ruptime(1), rusers(1), who(1), rwhod(8) HISTORY
The rwho command appeared in 4.3BSD. BUGS
