Actually I believe the command is just "who". It is supposed to show a
list of all users currently logged into the system. If I try "who
username" it doesn't show anything but errors.
As per the manual page: "If given one non-option argument, who uses that
instead of /etc/utmp as the name of the file containing the record of
users logged on." Another interesting piece of information from the man
pages is this: "/etc/wtmp is commonly given as an argument to who to look at
who has previously logged on", although it is not directly related to
Zaigui's problem I think.
In any case, perhaps the first thing he should do is check to make sure he
does have a /etc/utmp or /etc/wtmp file in his computer. By the way, my
command is working just fine but I still cannot find those two files (I do
have /etc/wtmplock though, which is most likely places there while running
the "who" command I guess). However, I do have a /var/log/wtmp file that
must provide the information. Can anyone please help Zaigui and along the
way clarify how the command works? Thanks a lot.
