     NAME
          last - indicate last logins of users and teletypes

     SYNOPSIS
          last [ -N ] [ name ... ] [ tty ... ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Last will look back in the wtmp file which records all
          logins and logouts for information about a user, a teletype
          or any group of users and teletypes.  Arguments specify
          names of users or teletypes of interest.  Names of teletypes
          may be given fully or abbreviated.  For example `last 0' is
          the same as `last tty0'.  If multiple arguments are given,
          the information which applies to any of the arguments is
          printed.  For example `last root console' would list all of
          "root's" sessions as well as all sessions on the console
          terminal.  Last will print the sessions of the specified
          users and teletypes, most recent first, indicating the times
          at which the session began, the duration of the session, and
          the teletype which the session took place on.  If the
          session is still continuing or was cut short by a reboot,
          last so indicates.

          If last is interrupted, it indicates how far the search has
          progressed in wtmp. If interrupted with a quit signal
          (generated by a control-\) last indicates how far the search
          has progressed so far, and the search continues.  Last with
          no arguments prints a record of all logins and logouts, in
          reverse order.  The -N option limits the report to N lines.

     EXAMPLES
          $ last -2
          smith    tty01   system1    Mon Nov 16 09:34   still logged in
          johnson  tty00   system1    Mon Nov 16 09:32 - 09:38  (00:06)

          This command displays the two most recent logins.
