Sorry, didn't realize that's what you were asking for. Google also was confused when I searched for "bash last".
Here is what the output is on our Macs.

Also, I modified the original PHP script above and made it work directly as a script. This does work for me but would like to convert it to Bash if possible... Thanks again for any input! Even if it's "not possible".
PHP Code:
#!/usr/bin/php<?php // Get raw output from Bash $sessions = shell_exec ( 'last | grep console | awk \'{print $1 " " $9}\'' ); // Separate each line into sessions $sessions = explode ( PHP_EOL , $sessions ); // Remove last line if empty if ( end ( $sessions ) == '' ) { array_pop ( $sessions ); } // Separate each session from the user and time array_walk ( $sessions , create_function ( '&$e,$k' , '$e=explode(" ", $e);' )); // Placeholder for user => logged-in times $login_times = array(); // Loop through each session foreach ( $sessions as $session ) { // List the session details list( $user , $time ) = $session ; // Ignore poorly formatted times // Else parse the time to get d+hh:mm if (! preg_match ( '/^\(((\d+)\+)?(\d{2})\:(\d{2})\)$/' , $time , $matches )) { continue; } // Convert to minutes $time = (int) $matches [ 4 ]; $time += ((int) $matches [ 3 ] * 60 ); $time += ((int) $matches [ 2 ] * 24 * 60 ); // Add users session time to the total logged-in time @ $login_times [ $user ] += $time ; } // Sort by logged-in time arsort ( $login_times , SORT_NUMERIC ); // Get top most user echo '<result>' . key ( $login_times ) . '</result>' . PHP_EOL ;
