Bucher) Newsgroups: comp.unix.questions,comp.unix.bsd.misc,comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc Subject: help with 'w' Date: 22 Jun 1995 19:52:04 GMT Organization: Michigan Technological University Lines: 9 Message-ID: <3schl4$120@news.mtu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: pacemaker.cts.mtu.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] What would slow down ONLY the w command while everything else on the system (that I've tried) continues to run smoothly. I type w and hit return, and it takes over a minute for there to be any output from the w command concerning the users... it gives the load average fine. Thanks, Boo
