Hi everyone
Does anyone know of a way of extracting the names of workstations logged into a given server in such a way that it can be used as input for a shell script?

Thanks in advance

Use %computername%
to test it goto a command prompt type:
" echo %computername% "

Don't know what OS you're on but try something using netstat:

netstat -a

will give a listing of local and remote machine DNS names, as well as protocols, ports, and session status.

netstat -a > myfile.txt

will direct the output to myfile.txt, after which you can use other scripting commands to strip out the information that you don't need.

Hope that helps -

Not entirely the solution I needed (I actually found out from another source), but you came the closest so the points go to you ;-)
