Tracking User Activity

. . . At the Console
Another command you can type at the console will give you valuable information about
users:
list u-t [<username>]
This command shows the date and time a user account was created, date and time of last
login, and date and time of last password change.
If you do not specify a particular user name to check, you will get a listing for all users.
Listing Users Currently Logged in
From the iNEWS Workstation, you can see a list of all users logged in, and you can find out
whether a specific user is currently logged in.
To see a list of all logged-in users:
1. Press Ctrl+L or select Communicate > Messages > Logged In Users.
A dialog box appears with a list of users currently logged in.
2. Click OK when you are done looking at the list.
To determine whether a specific user is logged in:
1. Select the Message bar.
2. Type the user name in the To field.
3. Move cursor to the message field, using the mouse or Tab key.
4. One of three symbols appears to the left of the To field, depending on what you type in
the To text box:
Icon Description
If the user is currently logged in, an icon of connected cables appears to the left of the
user name.
If the user is not currently logged in, an icon of disconnected cables appears to the left of
the user name.
If there is no such user name in the system, a question mark appears to the left of the user
name.
