The command "w" is a built-in command in Unix-like operating systems such as Linux used to display information about currently logged-in users and system load. When you execute the "w" command, it provides you with a summary of the following:
- The current time.
- How long the system has been running.
- The number of logged-in users and their corresponding details such as user names, terminals, remote host IP addresses, login times, idle times, and the amount of CPU time they are using.
- The average system load over different time periods, typically 1, 5, and 15 minutes.
This command allows system administrators to monitor user activity, identify system load, and track remote connections in real-time.
