lslogins: Display system accounts.
$ lslogins --system-accs
try on your machine

The command "lslogins --system-accs" is used in Linux systems to list the system accounts present on the system.

In Linux, user accounts can be divided into two categories: regular user accounts and system accounts. Regular user accounts are typically used by individuals for normal day-to-day activities, while system accounts are used by system processes and services for specific purposes.

When you run the "lslogins --system-accs" command, it will display a list of system accounts on your Linux system. This can be useful for system administrators to manage and understand the various accounts used by system processes. The output typically includes information such as the account name, the account's UID (user identifier), the home directory, and the shell associated with the system account.
