Basic UNIX Commands – Finding Out Who's on Your Computer
Want to find out who also is on your computer – when using UNIX ? There are two main commands that you can use to figure out who is using your “computer machine” in UNIX systems . These two UNIX based commands are “who” and “finger”. The most and simplest way is to simply type the word “Who” at the command prompt.
The will then see a listing on your computer monitor screen- the terminal , the user and the log-in time. Note that in real life computer situations the exact output from the UNIX “who” command varies from one version of UNIX to another , but it almost always can be counted on to contain at least these listings and parameters . In addition you can always type out the command line “who am I “ and UNIX will simply print just that very line for the terminal ( or terminal window), into which you typed that very command.
Next in line , with powerful UNIX command lines commands is the command “finger”, which is a considerably more powerful informative tool. The finger command produces a much more useful as well as elaborate report than does the “WHO” command.
Although “finger” reports the same stuff as the command “who” does it also looks up as well the user’s real name ( if it is in the user’s password file), and tells how long the terminal itself has been idle ( that is how long since the user typed something”. You can still see the vestiges of UNIX commands and processes even now in such basic and standard programs as Window’s based MSN Messenger systems and the like.
