You can filter the output to show only recent entries using:
Code:
last | head -50

Change "50" to suitable number for your environment.

Once again thank you for providing information.
I ran last | head -50 command , we are getting the list upto 10 logins, is there any possibility to trace logs from two days details.

I don't understand your request... The command I provided should show most recent logins to your server. Possibly last few days. Can you post the output that you are getting after running that command?
