finger

tool A Unix program that displays information about a

particular user or all users logged on the system, or a remote

system. Finger typically shows full name, last login time,

idle time, terminal line, and terminal location (where

applicable). It may also display a plan file left by the

user (see also Hacking X for Y). Some versions take a "-l"

(long) argument which yields more information.
