The who command

    Syntax:  who
    who ready
    who playing
    who away
    who count
    who name
    who from site

    This command gives you a list of all players that are currently logged in. The optional arguments ready, playing and away limit the output to those players who are ready, playing or away. You can also give a player's name as an argument to get information about that player only, use the argument count to find out how many people are logged in or use from site to get a list of all players who are logged in from a site containing site as a substring. There are several columns of output for every player:

    S: Status of the player. It is displayed in 3 columns:

      P player is playing
      R player is ready to play
      - player is refusing to play
      W player is watching a game
      A player is marked away

    username: The name you can use to contact the player

    rating: The player's rating in the rating system.

    games: The number of games played by the player.

    login: login time

    idle: Idle time of the user in minutes and seconds.

    from: name or Internet address of the player's computer

    You can use w as an abbreviation of who. The way who sorts its output is determined by the 'sortwho' variable.

    Note: In MacFIBS, you should never need to use this command because the information in the Player window is always current.
