you can use awk command to format the output from who
for eg,
who | awk '{ printf "%s\n",$1}'
use man for more info about awk
use for loop to iterate thru the entries

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I am satisfied with the who
command. Let me put it to the higher level.
I hope somebody can guide me as to how can I get the

Can anybody give me pieces here, pieces there so that
I can form a program for that purpose?
