The Who Command

Display information about currently logged in users

Syntax: who [ ready | playing | away | count | name | from site]

This command gives you a list of all players that are currently logged in. The optional arguments ready, playing and away limit the output to those players who are ready, playing or away. You can also give a player's name as an argument to get information about that player only, use the argument count to find out how many people are logged in or use from site to get a list of all players who are logged in from a site containing site as a substring. There are several columns of output for every player:

• S: Status of the player. It is displayed in 3 columns:
• P player is playing
• R player is ready to play
• - player is refusing to play
• W player is watching a game

• username: The name you can use to contact the player
• rating: The player's rating in the rating system.
• games: The number of games played by the player.
• login: login time
• idle: Idle time of the user in minutes and seconds.
• from: name or Internet address of the player's computer

You can use w as an abbreviation of who. The way who sorts its output is determined by the sortwho setting.
