Dear friends,
i am running two xterm. When i run from any of them the "w" command i got this:
$ tty && w
/dev/ttyp0
10:47PM up 8 mins, 2 users, load averages: 0.88, 0.50, 0.23
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT
grios p0 :0.0 10:45PM 0 w
grios p1 :0.0 10:46PM 0 -sh
$
$ tty && w
/dev/ttyp1
10:48PM up 8 mins, 2 users, load averages: 0.75, 0.49, 0.23
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT
grios p0 :0.0 10:45PM 0 -sh
grios p1 :0.0 10:46PM 0 w
$
Now, from xterm terminal running over ttyp1, i start a new terminal,
by means of rxvt. And the output from the same previous command
execution is totally different:
$ tty && w
/dev/ttyp0
10:50PM up 10 mins, 2 users, load averages: 0.34, 0.44, 0.25
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT
grios p0 :0.0 10:45PM 0 w
grios p2 :0.0 10:48PM 0 -sh
$
$ rxvt &
[1] 28321
$ tty && w
/dev/ttyp1
10:49PM up 9 mins, 2 users, load averages: 0.56, 0.49, 0.26
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT
grios p0 :0.0 10:45PM 0 -sh
grios p2 :0.0 10:48PM 0 -sh
$
$ tty && w
/dev/ttyp2
10:49PM up 10 mins, 2 users, load averages: 0.44, 0.47, 0.25
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT
grios p0 :0.0 10:45PM 0 -sh
grios p2 :0.0 10:48PM 0 w
$
What i could not understand is: ttyp1 terminal was associated with a
xterm terminal. From that terminal, after starting a rxvt process,
that association was broken. Although i am still running xterm on
ttyp1, it is not shown on any of the three screen output. What i was
expecting it was to have an entry for the same login ("grios") on
ttyp1.
Anyhow, it does not make any sense to me.
Thanks a lot for your time and cooperation.
