Re: 'who am i' command does not produce output in 'mrxvt'
Yes. I am executing the 'who am i' command (not 'whoami' command). So, yes, I am putting space between them.

Re: 'who am i' command does not produce output in 'mrxvt'
No,I am looking for the command 'who' with two arguments. The command 'whoami' prints only the user name. However, I want the tty and the time stamp too. As per the man page of 'who': If ARG1 ARG2 given, -m presumed: 'am i' or 'mom likes' are usual. -m only hostname and user associated with stdin So, 'who am i' is what I need. However, my question was a little different. When 'who am i' is producing output in gnome-terminal, why isn't it doing so in 'mrxvt' ?

Re: 'who am i' command does not produce output in 'mrxvt'
How can I check for utmp entry? Also, if the UTMP entry doesn't exist why does it work in gnome-terminal and while logging in through tty1, tty2, etc.?

Is this a bug? Probably means that mrxvt doesn't create/record an entry in the wtmp database when a new session is started. Its not a bug as such, just an omission. I guess if you run ssh localhost you'd suddenly see yourself listed.
