Dennis, probably the best source of documentation for system commands
is that command's manual page.  "man who" will tell you everything
that the 'who' command can do.

Other commands of interest to the kind of things you mention are
"uptime, "w", "last", "netstat", "sockstat".  Their man pages will be
of use to you as well, of course.

Good luck.
