Badlop,

I have made the suggested changes and the output is little weird, on the first node ie ejabberd@first.abc.com if I run

/sbin/ejabberdctl --node ejabberd@first.abc.com connected-users

it throw an error

RPC failed on the node 'ejabberd@first.abc.cocm': nodedown

but same work if I run for ejabberd@second.abc.com on the first node ie

/sbin/ejabberdctl --node ejabberd@second.abc.com connected-users

works fine - list the online users

and made same changes of ejabberdctl on second node and the found the same behavior that is in second node I'm able to list online users for first node ejabberd@first.abc.com but throw an error 'RPC failed node down' for ejabberd@second.abc.com

Also i tried to understand the changes... but given up since it's hard to start with out understanding the basic

But the admin interface able to lists the online users on both the nodes correctly

Here is how my /sbin/ejabberdctl looks like

I think I found the problem. Can you try a small change on your ejabberdctl script? You can see where that script is installed in your system with "which ejabberdctl".
