Script to list users and their last login?
hi all,

I'm trying to write a script to create a file with a list of all users, their gid, gecos field and their last login time

e.g.
Quote:

fairly new to scripting, this is what I've got so far
Code:
#!/bin/sh( userlist= cat /etc/passwd  | awk -F: '{print $1," ",$4," ",$5}'  
 for name in $userlist   
 do login= last -1 $name   
 echo $name $login >> `hostname`_userlogins.txt   done)

The output of the first part is fine but I can't get the loop and last command working, and need to append the output of 'last -1' for each user to the end of their 'line'

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

VIRT-LOGIN-SHELL(1)					      Virtualization Support					       VIRT-LOGIN-SHELL(1)

NAME

       virt-login-shell - tool to execute a shell within a container matching the users name

SYNOPSIS

       virt-login-shell

DESCRIPTION

       The virt-login-shell program is a setuid shell that is used to join an LXC container that matches the user's name.  If the container is not
       running, virt-login-shell will attempt to start the container.  virt-sandbox-shell is not allowed to be run by root.  Normal users will get
       added to a container that matches their username, if it exists, and they are configured in /etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf.

       The basic structure of most virt-login-shell usage is:

	 virt-login-shell

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	   Display command line help usage then exit.

       -V, --version
	   Display version information then exit.

CONFIG

       By default, virt-login-shell will execute the /bin/sh program for the user.  You can modify this behaviour by defining the shell variable
       in /etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf.

       eg.  shell = [ "/bin/ksh", "--login"]

       By default no users are allowed to use virt-login-shell, if you want to allow certain users to use virt-login-shell, you need to modify the
       allowed_users variable in /etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf.

       eg. allowed_users = [ "tom", "dick", "harry" ]
