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

NAME
utmpx, wtmpx - utmpx and wtmpx database entry formats SYNOPSIS
#include <utmpx.h> /var/adm/utmpx /var/adm/wtmpx DESCRIPTION
The utmpx and wtmpx files are extended database files that have superseded the obsolete utmp and wtmp database files. The utmpx database contains user access and accounting information for commands such as who(1), write(1), and login(1). The wtmpx database contains the history of user access and accounting information for the utmpx database. USAGE
Applications should not access these databases directly, but should use the functions described on the getutxent(3C) manual page to inter- act with the utmpx and wtmpx databases to ensure that they are maintained consistently. FILES
/var/adm/utmpx user access and adminstration information /var/adm/wtmpx history of user access and adminstrative information SEE ALSO
getutxent(3C), wait(3C)wait.h(3HEAD) SunOS 5.10 22 Feb 1999 utmpx(4)
