Who is in My Linux System

Out of many Linux monitoring tools there’s a one cool one that allows you to know who is logged on the system and what they are doing. It shows current time, the time for which the system had been running, number of users currently logged on. Further it also displays the load averages for the 1, 5 and 15 minutes. This is important to know for any System Admin who would like to use load average (LA) stats to do better capacity planning. Here’s how you can see who has logged on to the system and what they are done.

With a simple command you can know who is logged on the system and what they are doing.
