currenlty logged in user on remote computer
Hello everyone

Does anyone know, if there is a command that tells you who is logged in on remote host?

I'm ssh-ing as root to the remote host and then run whoami but that doesn't tells me who is logged in that particular computer instead shows my remote login. Is there a way to do that? Smilie

Any suggestions, please??

Thanks a lot

whoami command will tell you who you are logged in as.

try using the "who" command on the remote server to see a list of currently logged in users. The "last" command will also provide user login info. Check the Man pages on each command for the required flags if you want to filter the info received
