.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B Last
|
|
searches back through the file \fB/var/log/wtmp\fP (or the file
|
|
designated by the \fB\-f\fP flag) and displays a list of all
|
|
users logged in (and out) since that file was created. Names of users
|
|
and tty's can be given, in which case \fBlast\fP will show only those entries
|
|
matching the arguments. Names of ttys can be abbreviated, thus \fBlast
|
|
0\fP is the same as \fBlast tty0\fP.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When \fBlast\fP catches a \s-2SIGINT\s0 signal (generated by the interrupt key,
|
|
usually control-C) or a \s-2SIGQUIT\s0 signal (generated by the quit key,
|
|
usually control-\e), \fBlast\fP will show how far it has searched through the
|
|
file; in the case of the \s-2SIGINT\s0 signal \fBlast\fP will then terminate.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The pseudo user \fBreboot\fP logs in each time the system is rebooted.
|
|
Thus \fBlast reboot\fP will show a log of all reboots since the log file
|
|
was created.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBLastb\fP is the same as \fBlast\fP, except that by default it shows a log
|
|
of the file \fB/var/log/btmp\fP, which contains all the bad login attempts.
|
|
.\"}}}
|
|
.\"{{{ Options
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.IP "\fB\-f\fP \fIfile\fP"
|
|
Tells \fBlast\fP to use a specific file instead of \fB/var/log/wtmp\fP.
|
|
.IP \fB\-\fP\fInum\fP
|
|
This is a count telling \fBlast\fP how many lines to show.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-n\fP \fInum\fP"
|
|
The same.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-t\fP \fIYYYYMMDDHHMMSS\fP"
|
|
Display the state of logins as of the specified time. This is
|
|
useful, e.g., to determine easily who was logged in at a particular
|
|
time -- specify that time with \fB\-t\fP and look for "still logged
|
|
in".
|
|
.IP \fB\-R\fP
|
|
Suppresses the display of the hostname field.
|
|
.IP \fB\-a\fP
|
|
Display the hostname in the last column. Useful in combination
|
|
with the next flag.
|
|
.IP \fB\-d\fP
|
|
For non-local logins, Linux stores not only the host name of the remote
|
|
host but its IP number as well. This option translates the IP number
|
|
back into a hostname.
|
|
.IP \fB\-F\fP
|
|
Print full login and logout times and dates.
|
|
.IP \fB\-i\fP
|
|
This option is like \fB-d\fP in that it displays the IP number of the remote
|
|
host, but it displays the IP number in numbers-and-dots notation.
|
|
.IP \fB\-o\fP
|
|
Read an old-type wtmp file (written by linux-libc5 applications).
|
|
.IP \fB\-w\fP
|
|
Display full user and domain names in the output.
|
|
.IP \fB\-x\fP
|
|
Display the system shutdown entries and run level changes.
|
|
.\"}}}
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
The files \fIwtmp\fP and \fIbtmp\fP might not be found. The system only
|
|
logs information in these files if they are present. This is a local
|
|
configuration issue. If you want the files to be used, they can be
|
|
created with a simple \fBtouch\fP(1) command (for example,
|
|
\fItouch /var/log/wtmp\fP).
