https://askubuntu.com/questions/1519426/why-is-the-command-w-in-
ubuntu-24-04-different-than-older-versions
the 'w' command on 24.04 yields this:
08:11:52 up 5:23, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
root 180.74.67.181 02:48 5:22m 0.00s 0.47s sshd: root@pts/0
root 180.74.67.181 04:01 5:22m 0.00s 0.01s sshd: root@pts/2
whereas 22.04 yields this:
08:12:59 up 12 days, 3:22, 2 users, load average: 0.49, 0.67, 0.70
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
root pts/0 180.74.67.181 03:17 0.00s 0.04s 0.00s w
root pts/1 180.74.67.181 04:06 4:05m 0.03s 0.03s -bash
The important bits are that the tty column is empty and the idle time is
wrong.
