Re: OLD Terminals, tty command

Hi:

The 'who' command examines entries made in '/etc/utmp'. This file is cleared at reboot. It is not uncommon for entries to persist for abnormally terminated sessions, as for example when a a PC user simply closes an terminal emulator session un-gracefully.

Regards!
