in thread parsing output of UNIX `who` command

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 $

    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

    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,
