The best command for this is who -a. This allows you to see everyone logged in and where. Here's what my who -a output looks like right now.

LOGIN tty1 2013-04-09 03:41 207 id=tty1
yaro ? :0 2013-04-09 03:41 ? 303
yaro + pts/0 2013-04-09 03:41 06:12 359 (:0)
yaro - pts/1 2013-04-09 03:41 . 550 (:0)

I suggest looking at the who manpage for more details.

Which commands con you use to determine who is logged on?

There are several commands depending on how much detail you want, and whether or not a certain package is installed on the system. The command 'who', 'w', 'users' will give varying degrees of information on who is logged in. The 'finger' command will also give some information but only if the finger software is installed.

Can you log out on Yahoo on your iPod touch?

I think in all cases, Yes. However, how to log out depends where you logged in. If you logged in through Safari, then yes - simply go back to Safari, and at the bottom of their mobile site, you should see "Log out".If you logged in through a specific Yahoo application, look in the "settings" section, at the bottom, for that specific app - or inside the app itself.


In Linux's terminal I typed 'who' why you got 'root tty' and 'root pts0'why two roots?

"pts0" is a pseudo terminal. It would most commonly be used to bring up a terminal emulator, such as xterm or Konsole, in the GUI. If you have logged in or assumed root privileges in such a window, that would account for root being on pts0. If you logged into a tty, that would account for the other root. Some daemons may potentially also run as root during startup, creating the root login on, say, tty3.
