NAME

       znol - notify via Zephyr upon login or logout of interesting people

SYNOPSIS

       znol [ on|off ] [ -f file ] [ -u username ] [ -l ] [ -q ]

DESCRIPTION

       Znol  provides  a  way  for  you to be notified when "interesting" people log in or out.  It uses the Zephyr(1) Notification Service, which
       causes a message to appear on your screen for every person specified in a namelist (which defaults to $HOME/.anyone).  The namelist  should
       have  one  login  name  per line.  Any line starting with `#' is considered a comment and ignored.  Anyone in the namelist who is logged in
       when znol is executed is printed to stdout.  The control arguments are as follows:

       on|off	   Turns notification on or off.

       -f	   The namelist file is taken to be file.  If file is "-", then the standard input is used instead of a file.  If  file  does  not
		   exist, an error message is printed, and znol exits.	This option may not be used in conjunction with the -u option.

       -l	   Causes  znol  to  just  list the people in the namelist who are currently logged in, without subscribing to the login messages.
		   This option may not be used in conjunction with the -q option.

       -q	   Disables printing who is currently logged in when subscribing.  This option may not be used in conjunction with the -l option.

       -u	   Instead of reading a file to specify the "interesting" users, the next argument is used as the only "interesting"  user.   This
		   option may not be used in conjunction with the -f option.

EXAMPLES

	    znol
       reads  the  standard  namelist file, prints the locations of any users named therein which can be found on the system, and enters subscrip-
       tions for notices about those users.
	    znol -l -u foo
       prints the location (if visible) of the user 'foo'.

NAME

       zlocate - find a user using Zephyr

SYNOPSIS

       zlocate [ -a | -d ] [ -1 ] [ -p ] user ...

DESCRIPTION

       Zlocate	uses the Zephyr(1) Notification Service to find where a user is currently logged in.  If the user is not logged in, or has set his
       location information such that you do not have access to see it, zlocate prints "Hidden or not logged-in".  Otherwise,  each  machine  that
       the  user is currently logged into is printed, along with the time of login and location.  The location is usually the X window system dis-
       play name of the user's display, but may be the terminal name if he is not using X or for some other reason  is	only  using  the  terminal
       interface to zwgc(1).

       By  default,  all  zlocate requests are authenticated using Kerberos.  If you do not have Kerberos tickets, or for some other reason do not
       want to authenticate, the -d option will turn off authentication.  The -a option is the default, authentication on.

       When locating multiple users, zlocate will display the user name on a line by itself, followed by the locations for that user.  To  display
       the user name on the same line as the output, use the -1 option (the numeral one).

       To look up multiple users in parallel asynchronously, use the -p option.

DIAGNOSTICS

       zlocate exits with status zero (0) if at least one user was found, and one (1) if no users were found.
