Output of 'w' command

[Abhijit Nah]

I have a HP-UX 11.11 box and whenever I issue a 'w' command, in the what column , I can only see a '-' and not the acutal command. However in other HP-UX boxes, it shows the actual command used by users. What could possibly go wrong ?

There's a forum for HP-UX, which is different
from this Tru64 forum, and would be a better
place for an HP-UX question.

You could simplify things by offering plain
text rather than a JPEG screen image to show
the actual command and its output.

Is "w" an alias on any on these systems?
"type alias" (or "which alias", or whatever)?

Many things are possible.

Looks like PHCO_26026 is what you need. Check out the details on the patch page.
