We have a requirement of finding which users logged into a UNIX (Solaris) box and how many times they logged in so far and their last login.
I used "last" command in my script and got everything fine but not able to capture the "year" of date/time of the users' login. Looks like "last" command doesn't display the "year" value.
Please suggest me how to go over this? is there any good alternative to "last"?
You can use "fwtmp" get the raw information from "wtmp" formatted in ascii. The full date is then available for further processing. With a bit of cleverness you can fish out details for one user. Don't expand the whole file to disc - it will be very large.
Can't check on Solaris (including the name of the accounting file), but I believe that sample usage will look something like this:
Note the space character after the username.
See "man 4 wtmp" for the file format and the meaning of the various flags so you can find the "login" records.
With a little bit of lateral thought you can select records for a user for a given year to a file and then convert the file back to wtmp format with "fwtmp" and then read that file with "last". Of course avoiding overwriting your main "wtmp" file throughout.
It is advisible to start new accounting files periodically. Even if just to stop them reaching 2 Gigabytes. We copy the file periodically to an archive filename then null the file (>filename).

Hi,
I understand that the ls command with "-l" option generates the "last modified time" of specific directory.
However, some generated results displayed the "last modified time" with detail about the last modified year, for example:
