     LAST(C)                  XENIX System V                   LAST(C)



     Name
          last - indicate last logins of users and teletypes

     Syntax
          last [ -n limit ] [ -l tty ] [ -v ] [ name ]

     Description
          Last checks the wtmp file, which records all logins and
          logouts for information about a user, a tty line or any
          group of users and lines.  Arguments specify a user name
          and/or tty.

               last -l  tty01 root

          would list all ``root'' sessions as well as all sessions on
          /dev/tty01.  last prints the sessions of the specified users
          and ttys, including login name, the line used, the device
          name, the process ID, plus start time and elapsed time.

          last with no arguments prints a record of all logins and
          logouts, in reverse order.

          The options behave as follows:

          -n limit
               limits the report to n lines.

          -l line
               specifies the tty.

          -v   prints header (verbose option).

     Files
          /etc/wtmp      login data base
