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.
