Linux / Unix: users Command Examples

The “users” command in Linux/Unix is used to list the names of the users who are currently logged into the system. Here are some examples of using the “users” command:

  1. List all logged in users:
users
  1. Display names of users in a specific format:
users | tr ' ' '\n'

This will display each username on a separate line.

These are some basic examples of using the “users” command. Note that the “users” command provides a more limited view of the system’s user information compared to the “w” or “who” commands.
