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, .Nm will so indicate. .Pp The following options are available: .Bl -tag -width indent-two .It Fl -libxo Generate output via .Xr libxo 3 in a selection of different human and machine readable formats. See .Xr xo_parse_args 3 for details on command line arguments. .It Fl d Ar date Specify the snapshot date and time. All users logged in at the snapshot date and time will be reported. This may be used with the .Fl f option to derive the results from stored .Pa utx.log files. When this argument is provided, all other options except for .Fl f and .Fl n are ignored. The argument should be in the form .Sm off .Op Oo Ar CC Oc Ar YY .Op Ar MM DD .Ar hh mm .Op Ar .SS .Sm on where each pair of letters represents the following: .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -compact -offset indent .It Ar CC The first two digits of the year (the century). .It Ar YY The second two digits of the year. If .Ar YY is specified, but .Ar CC is not, a value for .Ar YY between 69 and 99 results in a .Ar CC value of 19. Otherwise, a .Ar CC value of 20 is used. .It Ar MM Month of the year, from 1 to 12. .It Ar DD Day of the month, from 1 to 31. .It Ar hh Hour of the day, from 0 to 23. .It Ar mm Minute of the hour, from 0 to 59. .It Ar SS Second of the minute, from 0 to 60. .El .Pp If the .Ar CC and .Ar YY letter pairs are not specified, the values default to the current year. If the .Ar SS letter pair is not specified, the value defaults to 0. .It Fl f Ar file Read the file .Ar file instead of the default, .Pa /var/log/utx.log . .It Fl h Ar host .Ar Host names may be names or internet numbers. .It Fl n Ar maxrec Limit the report to .Ar maxrec lines. .It Fl s Report the duration of the login session in seconds, instead of the default days, hours and minutes. .It Fl t Ar tty Specify the .Ar tty . Tty names may be given fully or abbreviated, for example, .Dq Li "last -t 03" is equivalent to .Dq Li "last -t tty03" . .It Fl w Widen the duration field to show seconds, as well as the default days, hours and minutes. .It Fl y Report the year in the session start time. .El .Pp If multiple arguments are given, and a snapshot time is not specified, the information which applies to any of the arguments is printed, e.g., .Dq Li "last root -t console" would list all of .Dq Li root Ns 's sessions as well as all sessions on the console terminal. If no users, hostnames or terminals are specified, .Nm prints a record of all logins and logouts. .Pp The pseudo-user .Ar reboot logs in at reboots of the system, thus .Dq Li last reboot will give an indication of mean time between reboot. .Pp If .Nm is interrupted, it indicates to what date the search has progressed. If interrupted with a quit signal .Nm indicates how far the search has progressed and then continues. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /var/log/utx.log -compact .It Pa /var/log/utx.log login data base .El +.Sh EXAMPLES +Show logins in pts/14 with the duration in seconds and limit the report to +two lines: +.Bd -literal -offset indent +$ last -n2 -s -t pts/14 +bob pts/1 Wed Dec 9 11:08 still logged in +bob pts/2 Mon Dec 7 20:10 - 20:23 ( 776) +.Ed +.Pp +Show active logins at +.Ql December 7th 20:23 +of the current year: +.Bd -literal -offset indent +$ last -d 12072023 +bob pts/1 Mon Dec 7 20:10 - 20:23 (00:12) +bob pts/6 Mon Dec 7 19:24 - 22:27 (03:03) +alice ttyv0 Mon Dec 7 19:18 - 22:27 (03:09) +.Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr lastcomm 1 , .Xr getutxent 3 , -.Xr ac 8 , -.Xr lastlogin 8 , .Xr libxo 3 , -.Xr xo_parse_args 3 +.Xr xo_parse_args 3 , +.Xr ac 8 , +.Xr lastlogin 8 .Sh HISTORY .Nm utility first appeared in .Bx 1 . .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit The original version was written by .An Howard P. Katseff ; .An Keith Bostic rewrote it in 1986/87 to add functionality and to improve code quality. .An Philip Paeps added .Xr libxo 3 support in August 2018. .Sh BUGS If a login shell should terminate abnormally for some reason, it is likely that a logout record will not be written to the .Pa utx.log file. In this case, .Nm will indicate the logout time as "shutdown".
