How is it supposed to tell the difference between a missing -, and a filename named 'x' that the user wants to enter? What if the user really does want to enter a file named x? It can't, its ambiguous.

NAME
lastcomm - Outputs information about the last commands executed SYNOPSIS
lastcomm [Command] [Name] [Tty] DESCRIPTION
The lastcomm command outputs information about all previously executed commands that are recorded in the /var/adm/pacct file in reverse chronological order. You may specify a particular command with the Command parameter, a particular user with the Name parameter, and a particular terminal as the command source with the Tty parameter. Output is then restricted to the specified parameters. A Tty terminal may be named fully (for example, tty0) or abbreviated (for example, 0). The following information is displayed for each process: Name of the command under which the process was called. Any flags collected when the command was executed. The following flags are valid: Command was run with an effective user-id of 0. Command ran after a fork, but without an exec system call following it. Name of the user who issued the command. The terminal the command was started from. Seconds of CPU time used. Time the process started. EXAMPLES
To display information about all previously executed commands recorded in the /var/adm/pacct file, enter: lastcomm Information is displayed similar to: lastcomm ajh lat/620 1.13 secs Thu Feb 24 15:02 pg ajh lat/620 5.91 secs Thu Feb 24 15:01 ln miller ttyp1 1.14 secs Thu Feb 24 15:01 ls rob ttyp1 0.02 secs Thu Feb 24 15:01 pg sjz ttyp1 0.33 secs Thu Feb 24 15:00 sendmail SF root __ 0.01 secs Thu Feb 24 15:00 To display information about commands named a.out executed by the root user on terminal ttyd0, enter: lastcomm a.out root ttyd0 FILES
