What is Finger FOR LINUX?

Finger for Linux

Finger is a utility program designed to allow users of Unix hosts on the Internet network to get information about each other. It serves as a modern replacement for the Berkeley 4.3 finger code, offering users a different but effective output. Here's what you need to know:

Key Features

• Find detailed information about users on Unix hosts across the internet.


• Designed to run on a wide variety of systems for convenience.


• Get insights into user login information, including full name, home directory, shell, mail forwarding, and more.

How It Works

Finger requires you to specify a user@host pair to access the desired information. The user's name indicates who you are interested in, while the host represents the machine where the user has an account. Whether the user is logged in or not, you'll receive relevant details about their online activity.

User List Results

Upon executing Finger, you'll receive a comprehensive list showcasing user information, real name, activity status, and more. Here's an example of what you might see:

    

      User     Real Name         What    Idle  TTY  Host      Console Location

      bson     Jan Brittenson     fgrep          *p0 apple-gu (nutrimat.gnu.ai.)

      bson     Jan Brittenson              1:57  *sb nutrimat
