Am I doing something wrong? >=20 >=20 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. -Brent --LZvS9be/3tNcYl/X Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use MessageID: TmH43rmCZkDxwYiD1hy2YyRayO+0rJ3B iQA/AwUBOMyzKP5LgQMksPsjEQIYQACfWP5RMELEJh04rIJU8fXB2wSBqqEAoJMH 4nSlXrZAA2KE/ukjFcmuul/l =Joyu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --LZvS9be/3tNcYl/X-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
