Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Finding user accounts not accessed for a specific number of days Post 302556036 by vbe on Friday 16th of September 2011 11:23:27 AM

Im a bit bit tired so I may say a load of crap...IMHO
rather than:
Code:
last -f /var/adm/wtmpx | grep user | tail -n-1

why not e.g
Code:
 $ finger -sw user|tail -1
 $ last user|head -1

But you could read in a loop all the lines of just the output of last till the date you want in a file, keep the first field (user name) make them uniq and use that to against user database
