Hello there,
you could consider pointing out, in the manual page who(1),
that the invocations
$ who
$ who /var/run/utmp
do not produce identical output:
$ who
mats tty1 2011-11-28 22:32
mats pts/0 2011-11-28 22:36 (:0)
$ who /var/run/utmp
mats tty1 2011-11-28 22:32
mats pts/0 2011-11-28 22:36 (:0)
mats pts/2 2011-11-28 22:38 (:0)
$ who -u /var/run/utmp
mats tty1 2011-11-28 22:32 02:45 3209
mats pts/0 2011-11-28 22:36 00:07 3488 (:0)
mats pts/2 2011-11-28 22:38 . 0 (:0)
Due to irregular implementations of UTMP access in different
terminal emulators (such as neglect to include PID), the two
calls
/* coreutils/src/who.c
*/
who (UTMP_FILE, READ_UTMP_CHECK_PIDS); /* who */
who (argv[optintd], 0); /* who <utmp file> */
are responsible for the undocumented difference.
Best regards,
