13.4 finger

- -

finger(1) will retrieve information about the specified user. -You give finger a username or an email address and it will try to contact the necessary -server and retrieve the username, office, telephone number, and other pieces of -information. Here is an example:

- - - - - -
-
-% finger johnc@idsoftware.com
-
-
- -

finger can return the username, mail status, phone numbers, -and files referred to as “dot plan” and “dot project”. Of course, -the information returned varies with each finger server. The one -included with Slackware returns the following information by default:

- - - -

The first four items can be set with the chfn command. It -stores those values in the /etc/passwd file. To change the -information in your .plan or .project -file, just edit them with your favorite text editor. They must reside in your home -directory and must be called .plan and .project.

- -

Many users finger their own account from a remote machine to -quickly see if they have new email. Or, you can see a user's plan or current project.

- -

Like many commands, finger has options. Check the man page -for more information on what special options you can use.
