This directory contains the "distributed rwho" (drwho) program.  Drwho
alleviates certain rwho(1) limitations.  For instance it adds
functionality that spans subnets.  In addition, drwho prints a much
more concise listing of who's logged in around a network.

Below are some examples of how to use drwho.

0. Start by running the server in a window or as a daemon, e.g., run
   the following on a local machine, such as tango.cs.wustl.edu:

% drwho-server

Then, If you'd like to find out who's logged in, try the following
commands:

1. Print out the command-line options.

% drwho-client -h
usage: ./drwho-client
-?      prints a short usage message
-A      append the following hostname to the list of predefined hostnames.
-a      return information on *all* users remotely logged in (uses yp passwd).
-b      run the server in the background (i.e., as a daemon).
-d      turn on debugging.
-F      use the following file contents to initialize the host list.
-f      use the following file contents to initialize the friends database.
-H      use the following hostname as part of the new list of hostnames.
        (this option overwrites the existing default names).
-h      print a long usage message.
-L      print the login name rather than the real name (which is the default).
-l      print information in long format (works for all protocols).
-p      set the port number (server must correspond).
-r      do the remote lookups (i.e., local operations are the default).
-R      print info using the rusers format.
-s      sort the output by login name.
-S      sort the output by real name.
-t      set the amount of time we wait for servers to timeout.
-w      return information on just one user.

----------------------------------------

2. Find out which friends are logged in (* means currently active)

% drwho-client -A tango.cs.wustl.edu -r -f ~schmidt/.friends.dta
remote friends logged on
------------------------
*Doug O'las    [tango*(3) mambo]
 Carlos O'Ryan [tango swarm.cs.wustl.edu macarena]
 Irfan Pyarali [merengue]
 Nanbor Wang   [lambada]
 Marina Spivak [mambo]
 Chris Gill    [tango]
*Vishal        [merengue*(2)]

 Pradeep       [flamenco]
 Matt Braun    [lambada]
------------------------
friends: 5      users: 168

You'll to write a friends.dta file in order for this feature to work.
Here's one that I've got:

schmidt  Doug O'las
coryan   Carlos O'Ryan
irfan    Irfan Pyarali
levine   David Levine
nanbor   Nanbor Wang
jp4      Jeff Parsons
marina   Marina Spivak
cdgill   Chris Gill
vishal   Vishal
kirthika Kirthika
naga     Naga
alex     Alex
bala     Bala
pradeep  Pradeep
brunsch  Darrell Brunsch
jxh      James Hu
yamuna   Yamuna
mjb2     Matt Braun
gokhale  Andy Gokhale
fredk    Fred Kuhns

If you put this file in ~/.friends.dta drwho will automatically locate
it.

----------------------------------------

3. Find out where a particular person is logged in:

% drwho-client -A tango.cs.wustl.edu -r -w schmidt
tango

This is useful for remote commands that require a hostname, e.g.:

% talk schmidt@`drwho-client -A tango.cs.wustl.edu -r -w schmidt`

or

% rsh `drwho-client -w schmidt` ps
   PID TTY      TIME CMD
  1844 pts/9    0:01 tcsh_6.0
  4821 ?        0:02 perfmete
    77 pts/20   0:01 tcsh_6.0
  4845 pts/2    0:00 tcsh_6.0
  4766 ?        0:00 xmessage
  4850 pts/3    0:06 tcsh_6.0
  5057 pts/4    0:01 tcsh_6.0
  4826 ?       18:07 netscape
  4802 ?        0:07 mwm
% foreach host (`drwho -r -l -w schmidt`)
? echo $host
? rsh $host w | egrep schmidt
? end

----------------------------------------

4. Find out everyone who is logged in everywhere!

% drwho-client -A tango.cs.wustl.edu -r -a
remote users logged on
