35.Sh NAME
36.Nm rusers
37.Nd who is logged in to machines on local network
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Nm rusers
40.Op Fl al
41.Op Fl h | Fl i | Fl u
42.Op Ar hosts ...
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Nm
46command produces output similar to
47.Xr who 1 ,
48but for the list of hosts or all machines on the local network.
49For each host responding to the rusers query,
50the hostname with the names of the users currently logged
51on is printed on each line.
52The
53.Nm
54command will wait for 30 seconds to catch late responders.
55.Pp
56The options are as follows:
57.Bl -tag -width Ds
58.It Fl a
59Print all machines responding even if no one is currently logged in.
60.It Fl h
61Sort alphabetically by hostname.
62.It Fl i
63Sort by idle time in ascending order.
64Unlike other implementations, when the
65.Fl i
66and
67.Fl l
68flags are mixed the output is sorted by the idle time of each individual user.
69If the
70.Fl l
71flag is not specified, the idle time for a machine is considered to be
72the lowest idle time of a user on that host.
73.It Fl l
74Print a long format listing.
75This includes the user name, host name,
76tty that the user is logged in to, the date and time the user
77logged in, the amount of time since the user typed on the keyboard,
78and the remote host they logged in from (if applicable).
79.It Fl u
80Sort by number of users logged in.
81.El
82.Sh ENVIRONMENT
83.Bl -tag -width COLUMNS
84.It Ev COLUMNS
85If set to a positive integer,
86output is formatted to the given width in columns.
87Otherwise,
88.Nm
89defaults to the terminal width, or 80 columns if the output is not a terminal.
90.El
91.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
92.Bl -tag -width indent
93.It rusers: RPC: Program not registered
94The
95.Xr rpc.rusersd 8
96daemon has not been started on the remote host.
97.It rusers: RPC: Timed out
98A communication error occurred.
99Either the network is excessively congested, or the
100.Xr rpc.rusersd 8
101daemon has terminated on the remote host.
102.It rusers: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
103The remote host is not running the portmapper (see
104.Xr portmap 8 ) ,
105and cannot accommodate any RPC-based services.
106The host may be down.
