|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm W
|
|
prints a summary of the current activity on the system,
|
|
including what each user is doing.
|
|
The heading shows the current time of day, how long the system has been up,
|
|
the number of users logged into the system, and the load averages.
|
|
The load average numbers give the number of jobs in the run queue
|
|
averaged over 1, 5 and 15 minutes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The fields output are:
|
|
the user's login name, the name of the terminal (tty) the user is on,
|
|
the host from which the user is logged in, the time the user logged on,
|
|
the time since the user last typed anything,
|
|
the
|
|
.Tn CPU
|
|
time used by all processes and their children on that tty,
|
|
the
|
|
.Tn CPU
|
|
time used by the currently active processes, and the name and arguments
|
|
of the current process.
|
|

.Sh BUGS
|
|
The notion of the
|
|
.Dq current process
|
|
is muddy.
|
|
The current algorithm is ``the highest numbered process on the terminal that
|
|
is not ignoring interrupts, or, if there is none, the highest numbered
|
|
process on the terminal''.
|
|
This fails, for example, in critical sections of programs like the shell
|
|
and editor, or when faulty programs running in the background fork and fail
|
|
to ignore interrupts.
|
|
(In cases where no process can be found,
|
|
.Nm w
|
|
prints
|
|
.Dq \- . )
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn CPU
|
|
time is only an estimate, in particular, if someone leaves a
|
|
background process running after logging out, the person currently
|
|
on that terminal is
|
|
.Dq charged
|
|
with the time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Background processes are not shown, even though they account for
|
|
much of the load on the system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Sometimes processes, typically those in the background, are
|
|
printed with null or garbaged arguments.
|
|
In these cases, the name of the command is printed in parentheses.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm W
|
|
does not know about the new conventions for detection of background jobs.
|
|
It will sometimes find a background job instead of the right one.
