I'd suggest a wishlist bug on acpi-support-base to use "who -us" in
place of "pinky -fw". who is a posix standard command, pinky is an
oddball that was hacked up from who years ago because someone liked the
finger command output and wanted something that would add the full name,
.plan, .project, etc., to the regular who output (none of which is used
by acpi). Basically, pinky is simply not the right tool for the task at
hand and it makes more sense IMO to use the right tool than to try to
add functionality to a 30 year old special-purpose tool intended to
replicate the functionality of an information program from another era.
