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. AUTHOR
was developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. WARNINGS
Broadcasting does not work through gateways; therefore, does not report information about machines that are reached only through gateways. FILES

NAME
rusers, rnusers - return information about users on remote machines SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lrpcsvc [ library ... ] #include <rpc/rpc.h> #include <rpcsvc/rusers.h> enum clnt_stat rusers(char *host, struct utmpidlearr *up); int rnusers(char *host); PROTOCOL
/usr/include/rpcsvc/rusers.x DESCRIPTION
These routines require that the rpc.rusersd(1M) daemon be configured and available on the remote system indicated by host. The rusers() protocol is used to retrieve information about users logged in on the remote system. rusers() fills the utmpidlearr structure with data about host, and returns 0 if successful. up must point to an allocated utmpidlearr structure. If rusers() returns successful it will have allocated data structures within the up structure, which should be freed with xdr_free(3NSL) when you no longer need them: xdr_free(xdr_utimpidlearr, up); On error, the returned value can be interpreted as an enum clnt_stat and can be displayed with clnt_perror(3NSL) or clnt_sperrno(3NSL). See the header <rpcsvc/rusers.h> for a definition of struct utmpidlearr. rnusers() returns the number of users logged on to host (-1 if it cannot determine that number). The following XDR routines are available in librpcsvc: xdr_utmpidlearr ATTRIBUTES
