(If you doubt me, look at the hundreds of postings he has made in the past.) Again, use the system for a while, and you will see that 'who', or 'last', or 'ac' will work fine with a little help from 'awk' or 'sed' or 'cut'. Questioning the experience of someone who is trying to help you is as bad as a new user criticizing the OS design decisions. -- Bruce Momjian | 830 Blythe Avenue root@candle.pha.pa.us | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026 + If your life is a hard drive, | (610) 353-9879(w) + Christ can be your backup. | (610) 853-3000(h)
