A Linux administrator needs to generate a quick report of all users currently logged into a multi-user server. The report should, at a minimum, show each user's login name, their terminal line, and the time they logged in. Which of the following commands will produce the required report?
last
getent passwd
who
whoami
The correct command is who. This command displays a list of all users who are currently logged into the system, including their username, terminal line, login time, and the remote host from which they are connected.
whoami is incorrect because it only prints the effective username of the current user.last is incorrect as it displays a history of past user logins and logouts, rather than only showing who is currently logged in.getent passwd is incorrect because it retrieves and lists all user accounts from the system's user database (like /etc/passwd), regardless of whether they are currently logged in.Bash is our AI bot, trained to help you pass your exam.
