Viewing Connected Users
To retrieve information about connected AFP users, use the getConnectedUsers
command with the serveradmin tool. You can use this command to retrieve session IDs
you need to disconnect or to send messages to users.
To view connected users:
$ sudo serveradmin command afp:command = getConnectedUsers
The computer responds with the following settings displayed for each connected user:
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:disconnectID = <disconnectID>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:flags = <flags>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:ipAddress = <ipAddress>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:lastUseElapsedTime = <lastUseElapsed>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:loginElapsedTime = <loginElapsedTime>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:minsToDisconnect = <minsToDisconnect>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:name = <name>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:serviceType = <serviceType>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:sessionID = <sessionID>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:sessionType = <sessionType>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:state = <state>
getLogPaths
Display the locations of the AFP service activity and error logs.
See “Viewing AFP Log Files” on page 149.
sendMessage Send a text message to connected AFP users. See “Sending a
Message to AFP Users” on page 147.

but also returns a setting indicating whether the service needs to
be restarted. See “Using the serveradmin Tool” on page 50.
