What other user-related commands exist?

That's a great question! It shows you're thinking beyond the current step.

Besides whoami, here are a few other common user-related commands that are very useful in Linux:

1. id: This command displays detailed information about the current user (or a specified user), including their user ID (UID), group ID (GID), and all the groups they belong to.

   • Example: id
   • Output: uid=1000(labex) gid=1000(labex) groups=1000(labex),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),116(lpadmin),126(sambashare) (Your output might vary slightly)

2. who: This command shows who is currently logged on to the system. It can display username, terminal line, login time, and more.

   • Example: who
   • Output: labex tty1 2024-07-30 08:30 (:0) (Shows current login sessions)

3. w: Similar to who, this command shows who is logged on and what they are doing. It includes load average information as well.

   • Example: w

4. users: This is a simpler command that just lists the usernames of the users currently logged in.

   • Example: users
   • Output: labex

5. passwd: This command is used to change a user's password. If run without arguments, it changes the password for the current user.

   • Example: passwd (It will then prompt you to enter the current password, then the new password twice)

These commands provide different perspectives on user information and activity on a Linux system.

Do any of these seem particularly interesting to you, or would you like to explore how they work?
