Actually, /usr/ucb/u is linked to /usr/ucb/users. The reason
/usr/ucb/w checks for u as the first character in argv[0] is to see if
the name is 'uptime' (too lazy to do a strcmp I guess).
/usr/ucb/uptime is linked to /usr/ucb/w. u displays a list of users in
alpha order, uptime dispalys the first line of w (number of users, load
average, etc).
This is how it is set up on the 4.1 and 2.9 systems that I have seen.
I am pretty sure this is how 4.2 is set up.
Howard.
