Finger command 1

[shannanl]

We use a unix server and I am told that to check the last logon of a specific user I used the "finger cpXXX" command (cpXXX user name). This works well for each user. My problem is that the cpXXX runs from cp001 to cp399. I dont want to type this 400 times! Can I run this as a batch or something?

Thanks,

Shannan

A starting point (in a ksh-like shell):
finger $(awk -F: '/^cp[0-9][0-9][0-9]/{print $1}' /etc/passwd)

Hope This Helps, PH.
