Thanks for responding Corona688,

I had considered this approach, but dismissed them because I wouldn't know where to get them. Searching for "GNU date" get zillions of hits Smilie but that's because of all the pages with the words GNU & date anywhere on them. Doh! Smilie

I might have to just write a utility ksh program to basically count my way along, but it won't really be that concise I suppose.


Any other suggestions?

OS reports as

HP-UX hp7 B.11.11 U 9000/800
whatever that translates back to.




Thanks again,
Robin

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. -h | --help Display a short help message. --usage Display a concise usage summary. SEE ALSO
The full documentation for rushlast is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and rush programs are properly installed at your site, the command info rush should give you access to the complete manual. See also rush(8) and rushwho(1). AUTHOR
