No this doesn't work for me. You're looking for :0 in the FROM column,
right? I have it in the TTY column:
$ w -hs
phil tty1 - 17:19 -bash
root tty2 - 15:31 -bash
phil pts/0 egypt.chezphil.o 0.00s sshd: phil [priv]
phil pts/2 egypt.chezphil.o 1:54 nano libskyline/src/compute_skyline.cc
phil :0 - ?xdm? -:0
Very peculiar. I'm not really sure what to suggest; I think that
understanding what w, who, finger etc. are really trying to tell us WRT
X sessions would be a good start. I doubt there's anything useful in
the man pages....
Phil.
