Bash One-Liner Script To Produce Somewhat-Fancy Output Of Who’s On Your Linux Or Unix Box

Today we’re going to shoot out a quick one liner script that can come in handy from time to time. It doesn’t fall under the “necessary” category (or, maybe not even the “useful” one ;), but it’s nice to have for those times when you just don’t feel like doing any extra typing or expending the effort required to separate the wheat from the chaff on a screen full of garbage output. That is, as I’ve always understood, one of the main reasons to script things out in the first place. The other reasons, like automation, efficiency, etc, are pretty much ignored here, even though we will be automating a repetitive action and that, by definition, will make our waste of company time more efficient. No matter how you look at them, automation and efficiency always seem to be a good thing 😉
