Hi all:
    I had once used a program called ison in IRIX environment but I
could not find the binary "ison" that shows an user is logged on.  My
environment is now SunOS and I wonder whether such a program exists for
Sun.  Thanks for helps, please email me.
(Does GNU have it?)

Try using "who" or "w". I know linux uses "who" but others might use
something else. Your best bet is to use the keyword search of the man
pages.

Another possible way is:

		finger [<name>][@<host>]

which can match also against real first/last names.
Brackets [] mean that both fields can both be specified or not.
