Bug history
Hi,
1) Using what command we can view the history of users who had logged in yesterday and today?
2) Command to view the user name when the user is logged in as root?


Thanks in Advance.

In each users home directory there is a file called ".sh_history", this is the shell history for the user and contains the latest commands they have been executing.

Just use a listing of the users directories to see who has accessed today/yesterday and then view the files as you need, for example if your users all had home directories under /home this would work
Code:
ls -trl /home/*/.sh_history

The two questions are ambiguous. Please expand and show an example of the output you expect.
