Description

The users command lists the login names of the users that are currently logged on to the system to standard output (stdout) in a compact, one-line list format. If you specify absolute path name of a file, then it is used as an alternate file instead of /etc/utmp. If you do not specify an absolute path name, it is considered to be the name of a workload partition. If the name is "Global", it indicates the global environment.

Files

Item Description
/etc/utmp Contains list of current users.
/usr/bin/users Contains the users command.
Note: The /etc/utmp file for a particular workload partition can be indicated by prefixing the root path for the workload partition.
