The WHO command displays the current process number and account name. The WHO command can also display information for other processes on the system. This command is useful for identifying a user process before sending a message or for finding out which users are currently logged on.
Format
|
WHO [n [-m]] [P] [F] |
Parameter(s)
|
n |
Number of a process. |
|
n-m |
Specifies a range of processes, beginning with n and ending with m. |
|
P |
Sends the information to the printer. |
|
F |
Specifies all processes on the system. Since most of these processes will not be active, it is better to specify a range of processes. |
Description
If the process specified is not currently active, WHO identifies that process as UNKNOWN. If the number specified does not correspond to any defined process, a message such as the following is displayed:
|
>WHO 77 [1145] ILLEGAL SPECIFICATION NUMBER 77.
> |
When you use the LOGTO command to move to another account, WHO displays your process number with the new account name.
Identifying a User Process
The following example displays information about process number 7:
|
>WHO 7 7 ORDERS |
The ORDERS account is logged on to process 7.
Identifying a Range of User Processes
The following example displays information about the processes whose numbers are in the range 7-10:
|
>WHO 7-10 7 ORDERS 8 ACCOUNTING 9 PERSONNEL 10 SALES
