time (displayed in mm:ss format) used by the currently active processes

DESCRIPTION
By default, the whodo command displays information for each current
user, preceded by a two-line heading. The date and time appear on the
first line and the system name occupies the second line.
The whodo command presents a list of each current user, identified by
the name of the terminal (tty) port they occupy, their login name, and
the time they logged in.
Under the listing for each current user is process information, that
is: A list of their active processes The terminal (tty) port The
process ID (PID) The number of minutes and seconds the process has been
running The process name
Specifying a user argument causes whodo to limit the output to the
heading and the specified user only.
EXIT STATUS
Success An failure occurred
