	I won't take credit for the ideas embodied by the following code (most
is out of the pageswapper and other sources), but i did manage to hack it into
working order:

in your login.com add the line:

	simstat == @simstat

then create the local file   simstat.com   containing:


$ procedure = """task=netwho "
$ send_string = procedure + p2 + """"
$ sho symbol send_string
$ type 'p1'::'send_string'

then create on all the remote nodes the following file called   netwho.com  :

$ define/user sys$output sys$net
$ sho 'p1'
$ exit


	note well: this file should be on the default decnet account if you
don't use proxy logins, and on your proxy account if you do....

then simply type

$ simstat node function 		(i.e. simstat cedsim users)

It works pretty well except   simstat cedsim system  will not work but
simstat cedsim sys  will..??... 

	good luck and let me know if this helps...
