Shell Programming and Scripting

for secure access purposes I want to know where somebody logs in
working in K shell

I have
who am i= giving user and terminal =gxb pts/4 Jan 22 15:0

finger user => gives all sessions of user
=
Login name: gxb
Directory: /home/gxb Shell: /sbin/ksh
On since Jan 22 15:05:31 on pts/4 from BS-013
No unread mail
No Plan.

I want to get the BS-013 !!

grep to find the terminal and the corresponding station ( station or ip address )

I tried
grep 'who am i |cut -c12-20' but this is not working

any ideas

Hi ,try:

Code:

grep "$(who am i |cut -c12-20)"

Cheers

Code:

who -R

could be useful. I am on HP-UX.

Code:

who -u

works on every platefrorm ...

Hello,

thank you already
who -R is not working, I am on SINIX ( older Siemens UNIX version)
who -u shows me all the users and the terminal.
I need the station ( is available in finger )

Try this:

Code:

finger -m username | awk 'NR==3{print $NF}'

I do not know the awk but it works.
However, this works when the user has 1 session.
He can have more sessions: the virtual terminal is then different and it is important to have the correct terminal-workstation info

as far as logic i had thefollowing in mind
with who am i: i find the virtual terminal
with finger user: i find the several sessions and corresponding terminals and workstations
with ? grep or other I take the correct line based on the terminal from who am i
with cut I take the workstation info out of that line
