`who`: Who is On

Typing

who

will display on the standard output the logon names of the users on the system, and the time at which they logged on.

prompt> who

cantin   console Jan 12 08:42
cantin   ttyp0   Jan 12 08:43
cantin   ttyp1   Jan 12 08:43

tells us that user cantin is logged on three times: once on the console and twice from windows. All three sessions were started on January 12

slightly after 8:30 in the morning.

If the output had included

cantin   ttyp0   Jan 12 08:46   (nrccsb3.di.nrc.ca)

this would mean that cantin is logged onto the current machine remotely, from a system whose name is nrccsb3.di.nrc.ca.
