LASTLOGIN(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      LASTLOGIN(8)

NAME

     lastlogin -- indicate last login time of users

SYNOPSIS

     lastlogin [-f file] [-rt] [user ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The lastlogin utility will list the last login session of each specified user, or for all users by default.  Each line of output contains the
     user name, the tty from which the session was conducted, any hostname, and the start time for the session.

     If more than one user is given, the session information for each user is printed in the order given on the command line.  Otherwise, informa-
     tion for all users is printed.  By default, the entries are sorted by user name.

     The lastlogin utility differs from last(1) in that it only prints information regarding the very last login session.  The last login database
     is never turned over or deleted in standard usage.

     The following options are available:

     -f file
	     Open last login database file instead of the system-wide database.

     -r      Print the entries in reverse sorted order.

     -t      Sort the elements by last login time, instead of user name.

FILES

     /var/log/utx.lastlogin  last login database

LASTLOGIN(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      LASTLOGIN(8)

NAME

     lastlogin -- indicate last login time of users

SYNOPSIS

     lastlogin [-nrt] [-f filename] [-H hostsize] [-L linesize] [-N namesize] [user ...]

DESCRIPTION

     lastlogin will list the last login session of specified users, or for all users by default.  Each line of output contains the user name, the
     tty from which the session was conducted, any hostname, and the start time for the session.

     If multiple users are given, the session information for each user is printed in the order given on the command line.  Otherwise, information
     for all users is printed, sorted by uid.

     lastlogin differs from last(1) in that it only prints information regarding the very last login session.  The last login database is never
     turned over or deleted in standard usage.

     The following options are available:

     -f filename
	     Process input from filename.  If the file ends with an ``x'', then it is assumed that it is a lastlogx(5) file, else it is assumed to
	     be a lastlog(5) file.

     -H hostlen
	     Set the field width for host output to hostlen characters.

     -L linelen
	     Set the field width for line output to linelen characters.

     -N namelen
	     Set the field width for name output to namelen characters.

     -n      Attempt to print numeric host addresses.  This option is only supported with lastlogx(5) format files.

     -r      Reverse the order of the sort.

     -t      Sort by last login time (most recent first.)

FILES

     /var/log/lastlogx	default last login database
     /var/log/lastlog	compatibility last login database

EXAMPLES

     lastlogin looks by default to the /var/log/lastlogx database, where some old programs that are not utmpx(5) aware might only write to
     /var/log/lastlog.	To look at the old database one can use:

	   lastlogin -f /var/log/lastlog
