So I have a problem. I have been doing real good figuring this stuff out on my own but Im a newbie and stuck on something that is probably real basic.
I want to get the following output from the who command:
Code:
User TTY Date Time
gd22a12 pts/1 Feb 1 11:34
gd22a13 pts/3 Feb 1 11:55
gd22a14 pts/2 Feb 1 11:33
I do not want the IP addresses that come in the standard who command so I know I would need to cut somehow but Im lost between that and pacing those headers above the top of the file.
So far Ive come up with this.....
Code:
who | cut -c1-7,9-15,23-25,28-34
Problem is my headers are not lined up over the output. What would be the best way to handle this? Just a hint owuld be good and I will research the rest! :-)
Can you just tell me what a few things did? For instance in the first line after echo you have -e. What does -e do? I checked my text and cant find it.
Also the \t in the echo is something I havnt seen. When should this be used?
Thanks for all your help!

Ive been at this for days now and come up with two ways to pull the info out of the WHO command that I need....
Code:
who | cut -c1-7,9-15,23-25,28-34 | tr ' ' '\t'
OR
Code:
who | grep s132a | cut -d' ' -f1,3,11,13,14
I can get the first one to match up fine with the headers I made using an echo but the grep method does not align. Just out of curiousity is there a way to make my second example align?
