Typed: w -n or w --no-truncat Expected output: non-truncated listing, including usernames NOT truncated to 8 characters Actual output: Usage: w [options] Options: -h, --no-header do not print header -u, --no-current ignore current process username -s, --short short format -n, --no-truncat non truncated listing (large) -f, --from show remote hostname field -o, --old-style old style output -i, --ip-addr display IP address instead of hostname (if possible) --help display this help and exit -V, --version output version information and exit Note the line in that: "-n, --no-truncat non truncated listing (large)" So it's explicitly saying to use a command that doesn't work. Is this someone's idea of a joke? Because I feel more like crying than laughing, when I can't get non-truncated usernames of graphically-logged in users with w -snf | grep :0 | awk '{print $1}'
