Capitalize who Output
i thought it could be done with who | tr "[:upper:]"'[:lower:]"

but im not really translating anything.

I've googled sed and grep and have looked in the man pages, as well as awk but cant really find a specifc regular expression to do what i need.

Code:
> who | tr "[:lower:]" "[:upper:]"

should work, lower to upper
