whos on the computer

I'm running ubuntu 9.04 and was wondering if there is a way to check if anyone else is on my computer wirelessly or other because I see a lot of weird things like my page scrolling when I'm not touching anything

you can type the who command to check there is some one else in your computer.

There are several ways to check , the w command the who command, the users command and the pinky command. Additionally you can see who's logged in in the past by the lastlog command.

Don't actually do that. kill -9 has the potential to screw up a number of things, and not just theirs. Also, assuming these other people have permission to be on this machine you've got root for, they may not want to use it anymore. :P
