LASTLOGIN(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      LASTLOGIN(8)

NAME

     lastlogin -- indicate last login time of users

SYNOPSIS

     lastlogin [-f file] [-rt] [user ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The lastlogin utility will list the last login session of each specified user, or for all users by default.  Each line of output contains the
     user name, the tty from which the session was conducted, any hostname, and the start time for the session.

     If more than one user is given, the session information for each user is printed in the order given on the command line.  Otherwise, informa-
     tion for all users is printed.  By default, the entries are sorted by user name.

     The lastlogin utility differs from last(1) in that it only prints information regarding the very last login session.  The last login database
     is never turned over or deleted in standard usage.

     The following options are available:

     -f file
	     Open last login database file instead of the system-wide database.

     -r      Print the entries in reverse sorted order.

     -t      Sort the elements by last login time, instead of user name.

FILES

     /var/log/utx.lastlogin  last login database
