About w
Displays information about the users currently on the machine,
and their processes. The header shows, in this order, the
current time, how long the system has been running, how many
users are currently logged on, and the system load averages for
the past 1, 5, and 15 minutes.
Syntax

| -h |

Ignores the username while
figuring out the current process and cpu times. To
demonstrate this, do a "su" and do a "w" and a "w -u". |
