Red face Cannot find this one in the book..

27. Know the name of a utility that determines that the user is logged on to a specific machine.

I cannot seem to find the answer to this little exam question in my big arsed textbook. By utility it is asking for the command to use in CLI.

Any tips?

Hi, welcome to LQ!

Try:
Code:
man -k user
Read the descriptions of the commands, pick likely candidates
and try to use them to see what they do.



Cheers,
Tink
