To find the time of excution of a particular unix command
Hi experts,

It would be grateful if you can guide me on the following,

1.How to find the time of excution of a particular unix command.
2. How to find the terminal (IP Address) from where that particular unix command was excuted.
3. How to find the user who executed that particular unix command

Thanks in advance,
Prabhu

If the process for this command isn't running anymore and if this command doesn't write an output or log somewhere, you will have not much chance to find when it was invoked.
You can check with the "last" command when who was logged in and maybe you are lucky and find something in the history file of the shell the user might have used.
