Linux Command - w

[Windhan]

Hi all,

I have seen that Linux Command w Display users logged in and what they are doing.

I have checked and found,

testuser@db:~> w
04:37:22 up 21 days, 14:48, 4 users, load average: 0.07, 0.05, 0.01
USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
testuser pts/0 04:20 16:59 0.03s 0.03s -bash
testuser pts/1 04:36 0.00s 0.03s 0.00s w
testuser pts/3 01:44 1:24m 0.11s 0.11s -bash

-bash means?

Bash is the shell you log into on the command line. It is the default in Linux. Every login requires a minimum of bash in the default setup.
