How to compare previous and current item in for loop in bash?
Hey,
I am trying to compare formated login and logout dates from one user at a host which I have stored in a tmp directory in order to find out the total login time. I need to compare them in order to find overlapping intervals.
At first I tried to store each log in and logo date in an array but it doesn't work. Can anyone help me?

How do you get a for loop to cope with one of the items being an asterisk?
for myResult in `echo "*"`
do
echo "$myResult"
done
The asterisk is returning a file listing in the PWD.
The same result can be got from:
for myResult in "*"
do
echo "$myResult"
done (1 Reply)

LAST(1) BSD General Commands Manual LAST(1)
NAME
last -- indicate last logins of users and ttys
SYNOPSIS
last [-swy] [-d [[CC]YY][MMDD]hhmm[.SS]] [-f file] [-h host] [-n maxrec] [-t tty] [user ...]
DESCRIPTION
The last utility will either list the sessions of specified users, ttys, and hosts, in reverse time order, or list the users logged in at a
specified date and time. Each line of output contains the user name, the tty from which the session was conducted, any hostname, the start
and stop times for the session, and the duration of the session. If the session is still continuing or was cut short by a crash or shutdown,
last will so indicate.
The following options are available:
-d date Specify the snapshot date and time. All users logged in at the snapshot date and time will be reported. This may be used with
the -f option to derive the results from stored utx.log files. When this argument is provided, all other options except for -f
and -n are ignored. The argument should be in the form [[CC]YY][MMDD]hhmm[.SS] where each pair of letters represents the follow-
ing:
CC The first two digits of the year (the century).
YY The second two digits of the year. If YY is specified, but CC is not, a value for YY between 69 and 99 results in
a CC value of 19. Otherwise, a CC value of 20 is used.
MM Month of the year, from 1 to 12.
DD Day of the month, from 1 to 31.
hh Hour of the day, from 0 to 23.
mm Minute of the hour, from 0 to 59.
SS Second of the minute, from 0 to 61.
If the CC and YY letter pairs are not specified, the values default to the current year. If the SS letter pair is not specified,
the value defaults to 0.
-f file Read the file file instead of the default, /var/log/utx.log.
-h host Host names may be names or internet numbers.
-n maxrec Limit the report to maxrec lines.
-s Report the duration of the login session in seconds, instead of the default days, hours and minutes.
-t tty Specify the tty. Tty names may be given fully or abbreviated, for example, ``last -t 03'' is equivalent to ``last -t tty03''.
-w Widen the duration field to show seconds, as well as the default days, hours and minutes.
-y Report the year in the session start time.
If multiple arguments are given, and a snapshot time is not specified, the information which applies to any of the arguments is printed,
e.g., ``last root -t console'' would list all of ``root's'' sessions as well as all sessions on the console terminal. If no users, hostnames
or terminals are specified, last prints a record of all logins and logouts.
The pseudo-user reboot logs in at reboots of the system, thus ``last reboot'' will give an indication of mean time between reboot.
If last is interrupted, it indicates to what date the search has progressed. If interrupted with a quit signal last indicates how far the
search has progressed and then continues.
FILES
/var/log/utx.log login data base
SEE ALSO
lastcomm(1), getutxent(3), ac(8), lastlogin(8)
HISTORY
A last utility appeared in 3.0BSD.
BUGS
If a login shell should terminate abnormally for some reason, it is likely that a logout record will not be written to the utx.log file. In
this case, last will indicate the logout time as "shutdown".
