Need to know this

[suse_kid]

Hi,

I am using 11.4 Gnome (64bit).

I installed gkrellm to monitor system resources, temp, etc.

One unusual thing I noticed is that it is showing 2 users (i.e. the no. of user logged in =2) whereas only I am logged in.

To find out which users are logged in I used the "users" command in terminal. It prints my username 3 times.

>users 
bob bob bob

Is this normal?

It appears to be normal. I also found a useful command "w" that shows what they are:

james@linux-l9oq:~> users
james james james
james@linux-l9oq:~> w
 13:02:18 up 16:48,  3 users,  load average: 0.37, 0.47, 0.32
USER     TTY        LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
james    :0        Sun19   ?xdm?   5:59m  0.03s /bin/sh /usr/bin/startkde
james    pts/0     Sun19   17:48m  0.00s  2.35s kdeinit4: kded4 [kdeinit]                      
james    pts/3     11:13    0.00s  0.12s  0.00s w

Thank You,

And for every terminal window (Konsole, xterm) you start, you get one more

Thank You,

Thanks a lot to both.

DenverD, since a single w is a terminal command, it makes wonder what the other 25 letters do?

Thank You,

[hcvv]

Try:

man a

until

man z

[jdmcdaniel3]

I found that the three letters l o w all do something but only w has a man command entry. l is a directory command while o is like the less command. You learn something new everyday I guess.

Thank You,

l and o have an alias... w is an executable

denverd@linux:~> which w
/usr/bin/w

type alias at a terminal to see all the aliases

send me a Shiner and i'll tell you how you can have some more, also!!
