when i run x, neither who nor w return accurate reports of who is logged
in.

so to overcome this, i wrote a simple shell script using the ps command.
here it is:

#!/bin/sh
#
# 'whom' by mr BOFH!
#
if [ $# -gt 0 ]
then
	ps -ux | grep $1 | more
else
	ps -ux | more
fi
exit 0

cool!
the syntax is 

whom - to list everyone
whom uid - to list only stuff being run by user uid.

next i'll make one to kill all run by a certain uid or kill all processes
with a certain filename. :-)
