hmmm what does not a terminal mean?

Also the command I ran changed it in the response...but not permanently so when I do a ls -l I still see the old name, even though the command seemed to have changed it from the response

lastcomm(1)						      General Commands Manual						       lastcomm(1)

Name
       lastcomm - show last commands executed in reverse order

Syntax
       lastcomm [command name...] [user name...] [terminal name...]

Description
       The  command gives information on previously executed commands.	With no arguments, prints information about all the commands recorded dur-
       ing the current accounting file's lifetime.  If called with arguments, only accounting entries with a matching command name, user name,	or
       terminal  name  are printed.  The following example produces a listing of all the executions of commands named by user root on the terminal
       ttyd0:
       lastcomm a.out root ttyd0

       For each process entry, the following are printed:

		 The name of the user who ran the process.

		 Flags, as accumulated by the accounting facilities in the system.

		 The command name under which the process was called.

		 The amount of cpu time used by the process (in seconds).

		 The time the process exited.

       The flags are encoded as follows:

		 ``S'' indicates the command was executed by the super-user

		 ``F'' indicates the command ran after a fork, but without a following exec

		 ``C'' indicates the command was run in PDP-11 compatibility mode (VAX only)

		 ``D'' indicates the command terminated with the generation of a core file

		 ``X'' indicates the command was terminated with the signal SIGTERM
