Full Discussion: Reading wtmps file
Operating Systems HP-UX Reading wtmps file Post 302966252 by MadeInGermany on Wednesday 10th of February 2016 05:10:24 AM

The -X option is for the /var/adm/wtmps.* files, otherwise fwtmp reads the /var/adm/wtmp.* files.
I have no clue what the extra numbers mean. The man pages are too short (and a bit confusing).
If you want to try the last command, the following extracts most out of the files:
Code:
last -Rf /var/adm/wtmp
last -XxRf /var/adm/wtmps

--
Normally, at least during a system login, wtmp and wtmps are written simultaneously. wtmps has room for more information. So reading wtmps alone should be sufficient.

NAME
utmpd - user accounting database daemon SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
user accounting database daemon, manages the user accounting database which is the database of currently logged-in users. This was previ- ously maintained by and files on HP-UX. Upon startup, writes its pid to the file Applications can add, update, or query entries into the database using the APIs. See the getuts(3C) manual page for more information. utmpd(1M) takes care of synchronizing the legacy file and its own in-memory database. The synchronization is bi-directional from the data- base to the and from the file to database. However, this synchronization does not happen in real time. There is a time lag which could span from a few seconds on a lightly loaded system to a few minutes on a heavily loaded system. Signal Processing Perform graceful shutdown. This causes the daemon to write its in-memory user accounting database to the file and exit. DIAGNOSTICS
logs error messages to the system log using syslog(3C). WARNINGS
If is shutdown using synchronization between file and the file does not take place. should not be shutdown by the user unless it is for debugging purpose. On restart, utmpd(1M) rebuilds its database from the file. AUTHOR
