## Shared Server Tools
This is a shared Unix server. Classic tools for seeing who's around and communicating:
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| `who` | See who's logged in |
| `w` | Who's logged in + what they're doing |
| `finger <user>` | User info + their `.plan` file |
| `write <user>` | Send a message to their terminal |
| `wall` | Broadcast message to all logged-in users |
| `ytalk <user>` | Split-screen chat (both must be online) |
### Your .plan file
Create `~/.plan` to tell others what you're working on:
```bash
echo "Building a dice bot. Ask me about random numbers." > ~/.plan
```
Others can see it with `finger yourname`.
