Re: w or who don't show list of users

Most of the programs in Arch are not configured to update /var/run/utmp, which contains the login records that 'w' and 'who' use. If you need to see who is on your system, try 'ps aux' instead.

Re: w or who don't show list of users

ps aux | awk '{ print $1; }' | sort | uniq

will give you a nice sorted list, easy to read. big_smile
