NAME
XWhom - lists the users on the system
SYNOPSIS
XWhom [-w] [-u] [-c] [-s]
DESCRIPTION
XWhom is a simple X-hack I did one day because I didn't feel like
doing real work. XWhom lists the users on the system in an Athena
List Widget. If you have a .whom file in your home directory, the
names in your .whom file will replace the corresponding login names.
Click on the desired user to get information about them and their
processes. XWhom updates the list every 10 seconds. Press 'Q' to
quit.
USAGE - DOT FILES
The .whom file contains aliases for login names. The aliases may have
spaces, but will be truncated to 8 characters. A sample .whom file:
login: alias:
root The Man
uucp mailman
jpaparel Joe
USAGE - THE COMMAND LINE
The -w option just displays users in your .whom file.
The -u option lets you adjust the user list refresh interval.
The -c option lets you set the default number of columns.
The -s option disables scrollbars.
USAGE - X DEFAULTS
Merge in the default resources by typing: xrdb -merge Xwhom.ad You
can edit this file to put in your own default resources then add it to
your .Xdefaults file.
