What I'm trying to do is get an existing program that works on AIX, HP-UX, etc. to work on Linux, too. That program gathers a collection of ALL the Universe ports initiated by users who logged in through the normal UNIX login program. Non-interactive sessions (phantoms, sessions started by the LOGON verb, etc.) should be ignored. Among other things, each item in the collection contains the following properties: 1. Unix username 2. Unix tty 3. Universe port What would help is to have a verb like PORT.STATUS that allows multiple users to run the command simultaneously. At any rate, I think I get what I want by joining the value in the tty column of who -u with the tty column in ps -ef and the search for "uv" processes. Thanks for your willingness to help...
