lastcomm
lastcomm(8) System Manager's Manual lastcomm(8)
NAME
lastcomm - Outputs information about the last commands executed
SYNOPSIS
lastcomm [Command] [Name] [Tty]
DESCRIPTION
The lastcomm command outputs information about all previously executed commands that are recorded in the /var/adm/pacct file in reverse
chronological order.
You may specify a particular command with the Command parameter, a particular user with the Name parameter, and a particular terminal as
the command source with the Tty parameter. Output is then restricted to the specified parameters. A Tty terminal may be named fully (for
example, tty0) or abbreviated (for example, 0).
The following information is displayed for each process: Name of the command under which the process was called. Any flags collected when
the command was executed. The following flags are valid: Command was run with an effective user-id of 0. Command ran after a fork, but
without an exec system call following it. Name of the user who issued the command. The terminal the command was started from. Seconds of
CPU time used. Time the process started.
EXAMPLES
To display information about all previously executed commands recorded in the /var/adm/pacct file, enter: lastcomm Information is displayed
similar to: lastcomm ajh lat/620 1.13 secs Thu Feb 24 15:02 pg ajh lat/620 5.91 secs Thu Feb 24 15:01
