LAST(1) LAST(1)
NAME
last - report recent logins
SYNOPSIS
last [ userid ... ] [ terminal ]
DESCRIPTION
Last reports logins and logouts in reverse chronological
order. Optional 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 (control-\) it tells how far and keeps on looking.
FILES

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