LAST(1)                     General Commands Manual                    LAST(1)



NAME
       last - report recent logins

SYNOPSIS
       last [ userid ... ] [ terminal ]

DESCRIPTION
       Last  reports  logins  and logouts in reverse chronological order.  Op‐
       tional arguments restrict attention to selected userids  or  terminals.
       Terminals `tty0, tty1, ...' may be abbreviated `0, 1, ...'

       Last  reports  userid, terminal, time on, and time off.  A pseudo-user,
       `reboot', logs in at reboots of the system, thus

              last reboot

       reports recent reboots.

       Upon interrupt, last tells how far back it has looked; upon quit  (con‐
       trol-\) it tells how far and keeps on looking.

FILES
       /usr/adm/wtmp       login data base

       who(1), wtmp(5), ac(8)

BUGS
       Because the accounting file does not distinguish orderly shutdowns from
       crashes, neither does last.
