If it throws out garbage, you should be able to execute the "who" command on the remote system, which should show users that are currently signed on to a Unix or Linux system and if you do it all in the perl script, you can format the output to look pretty much the same (in case you haven't figured it out the @users_list is an array, very similar to PHP arrays actually [IMHO]). If you modified the perl script to detect the garbage, it could simply do a telnet connection and execute the "who" command. There are probably ways that use privileged commands similar to the one used for your windows solution on remote Linux Unix, but I don't know them, and I'm not sure it's a good idea to use them in a PHP script, but you can get opinions the other way as well. If all your machines are behind the same firewall, away from the internet, the risk could be less if you have a good firewall. For your telnet connection from perl look for the net:telnet perl module at http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Net/ , if you know PHP you will find perl quite easy I think. Good luck.

Hi Vail, My Worry is that If a remote OS is not Windows, then this would throw out garbage, Where as this Perl Script would work well at a Windows Side ,Bcoz I am using the 'Win32' Module ,is there any other module such that ..... We cannot even predict ( or I believe there is no exact way ) what the remote OS could be :( Nikhil. -----Original Message----- From: Vail, Warren [mailto:Warren.Vail@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, October 11, 2004 11:33 PM To: 'Mulley, Nikhil'; php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Is there any way of knowing User Currently Logged On? If you code in php something like the following, you just might be able to use the perl script; $ok = exec("path/to/Perl myperscriptname.pl server", $result); // you may have to straighten out syntax Foreach($result as $line) { echo $line; // or you could process the results } Hope this helps, Warren Vail -----Original Message----- From: Mulley, Nikhil [mailto:mnikhil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, October 11, 2004 9:52 AM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Is there any way of knowing User Currently Logged On? Hi Guys, Is there any way of finding the current user logged on the remote system I have a perl script which gets the user name who is currently logged on a remote Windows Machine #LoggedOnUsers(server, userRef).pl use Win32::NetAdmin; use strict; use vars qw($server @users_list); if(@ARGV>0){ $server=$ARGV[0]; } else{ print "\n\nEnter a valid Hostname or IP Address : "; chomp($server=<STDIN>); } Win32::NetAdmin::LoggedOnUsers($server,\@users_list); foreach(@users_list) { print "\n$server -- $_"; } This one gets the users logged in on a remote Windows machine , Is there a similar way of finding / doing the same regardless of an OS, Can it be done through a Web Browser ????
