Re^2: parsing output of UNIX `who` command

in thread parsing output of UNIX `who` command

On Solaris who -q gives one or more lines of space-separated user names followed by a summary line giving total no. of users. I wonder what o/s chinamox is using.

Cheers,

Not on my Solaris. `$ uname -a SunOS mybox 5.8 Generic_108528-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2 $ /usr/bin/who -q anomonk root # users=2 $` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Er ... yes. `$ /usr/bin/who -q # You run 'who -q' and get ... anomonk root # One or more lines of space-separated user names # users=2 # Followed by a summary line $ # And back to the prompt` [download] If there are lots of users on a system, `who -q` will output multiple lines of users rather than wrapping one long line. It looks like it assumes a terminal width of 80. Cheers, JohnGG	[reply] [d/l] [select]
