Re: 'who am i' command does not produce output in 'mrxvt'

No,I am looking for the command 'who' with two arguments. The command
'whoami' prints only the user name. However, I want the tty and the
time stamp too. As per the man page of 'who':

"If  ARG1  ARG2  given, -m presumed: 'am i' or 'mom likes' are usual."

"-m     only hostname and user associated with stdin"

So, 'who am i' is what I need. However, my question was a little
different. When 'who am i' is producing output in gnome-terminal, why
isn't it doing so in 'mrxvt' ?
