NAME

       rushlast - retrieve information of previous uses of rush

SYNOPSIS

       rushlast [-F STRING] [-f DIR] [-n NUM] [--forward] [-H]

       rushlast {-v | -h | --usage}

DESCRIPTION

       rushlast is a utility to search backwards in the session history that GNU rush maintains about all users calling on its services.

OPTIONS

       -F STRING | --format=STRING
	      Use specified format string instead of the default string.

       -f DIR | --file=DIR
	      Use database directory DIR. Default location is /var/lib/rush.

       --forward
	      Display entries in chronological instead of reverse time order.  The latter is the default mode of operation.

       -n NUM | --count=NUM | -NUM
	      Show at most NUM records. The numerical form '-NUM' is to provide compatibility with the standard utility last(1).

       -H | --no-header
	      Suppress the header line in printout.

       -v | --version
	      Display program version.
