last will list the sessions of specified
users, ttys, and
hosts, in reverse time order. Each line of output
contains the user name, the tty from which the session was conducted, any
hostname, the start and stop times for the session, and the duration of the
session. If the session is still continuing or was cut short by a crash or
shutdown, last will so indicate.
The following options are available:
-n-f
filelast reads the file file
instead of the default, /var/log/wtmpx or
/var/log/wtmp. If the file ends with
‘x’, it is treated as a
utmpx(5) format file, else it
is treated as a utmp(5) format
file. If the file is ``-'', standard input is used.-H

ttylast -t
03” is equivalent to “last -t
tty03”.-xIf multiple arguments are given, the information which applies to
any of the arguments is printed, e.g., “last root -t
console” would list all of
“root's” sessions as well as all
sessions on the console terminal. If no users, hostnames, or terminals are
specified, last prints a record of all logins and
logouts.
The pseudo-user reboot logs in at reboots of
the system, thus “last reboot” will
give an indication of mean time between reboot.
If last is interrupted, it indicates to
what date the search has progressed. If interrupted with a quit signal
last indicates how far the search has progressed and
then continues.
