       whodo(1M)                                                  whodo(1M)


       NAME
             whodo - who is doing what

       SYNOPSIS
             /usr/sbin/whodo [-h] [-l] [user]

       DESCRIPTION
             whodo produces formatted and dated output from information in
             the /var/adm/utmp, /etc/ps_data, and /proc/pid files.

             The display is headed by the date, time, and machine name.
             For each user logged in, device name, user-ID and login time
             is shown, followed by a list of active processes associated
             with the user-ID.  The list includes the device name,
             process-ID, CPU minutes and seconds used, and process name.

             If user is specified, output is restricted to all sessions
             pertaining to that user.

             The following options are available:

             -h    Suppress the heading.

             -l    Produce a long form of output.  The fields displayed
                   are: the user's login name, the name of the tty the user
                   is on, the time of day the user logged in (in
                   hours:minutes), the idle time - that is, the time since
                   the user last typed anything (in hours:minutes), the CPU
                   time used by all processes and their children on that
                   terminal (in minutes:seconds), the CPU time used by the
                   currently active processes (in minutes:seconds), and the
                   name and arguments of the current process.

       EXAMPLES
             The command:
                   whodo

             produces a display like this:
                   Tue Mar 12 15:48:03 1985

      whodo(1M)                                                  whodo(1M)


                      term/52   22549    0:01 sh
                  xt/162    lee      10:20
                      term/08   6748    0:01 layers
                      xt/162    6751    0:01 sh
                      xt/163    6761    0:05 sh
                      term/08   6536    0:05 sh

            The above is an example of what is displayed for any user.

      FILES
            /etc/passwd
            /etc/ps_data
            /var/adm/utmp
            /proc/pid

      DIAGNOSTICS
            If the PROC driver is not installed or configured or if /proc
            is not mounted, a message to that effect is issued and whodo
            will fail.

            The exit status is zero on success, non-zero on failure.
