12 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
13 | .I Last | |
14 | will look back in the | |
15 | .I wtmp | |
16 | file which records all logins and logouts for information about | |
17 | a user, a teletype or any group of users and teletypes. | |
18 | Arguments specify names of users or teletypes of interest. | |
19 | Names of teletypes may be given fully or abbreviated. | |
20 | For example `last 0' is the same as `last tty0'. | |
21 | If multiple arguments are given, the information which applies | |
22 | to any of the arguments is printed. For example `last root console' | |
23 | would list all of "root's" sessions as well as all sessions | |
24 | on the console terminal. | |
25 | .I Last | |
26 | will print the sessions of the specified users and teletypes, | |
27 | most recent first, indicating the times at which the session | |
28 | began, the duration of the session, and the teletype which the | |
29 | session took place on. | |
30 | If the session is still continuing or was cut short by a crash, | |
31 | .I last | |
32 | so indicates. | |
33 | .PP | |
34 | The teletype | |
35 | .B tty~ | |
36 | records the crashes of the system; thus | |
37 | .DT | |
38 | .PP | |
39 | last tty~ | |
40 | .PP | |
41 | will give an indication of the reliability of the system. | |
42 | .PP | |
43 | .I Last | |
44 | with no arguments prints a record of all logins and logouts, in | |
45 | reverse order. | |
46 | .PP | |
47 | If | |
48 | .I last | |
49 | is interrupted, it indicates how far the search has progressed | |
50 | in | |
51 | .I wtmp. | |
