It looks like you can already produce your report just using finger, but need to add the year to lines that have a timestamp. Basically you have four line formats that you need to examine:
Code:
Last login Wed Aug 7, 2013 on pts/111
Last login Mon Sep 23 17:28 on pts/47 from remb02mkiwsf25
On since Feb 17 15:26:40 on pts/75
On since Jul 25, 2013 on pts/12
You don't need to do anything to the lines that have a year in them already (the 1st and 4th lines shown above). For the 2nd and 3rd lines, you can insert the current or previous year before the timestamp (or replace the timestamp) depending on whether the given month is less than the current month in this year. So, if the report you generated (as shown in message #3 in this thread) is stored in a file name report.txt, the following shell and awk script:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
cmy=$(date +'%m%Y')
cm=${cmy%????}
cy=${cmy#??}
awk -v cm="${cm# }" -v cy="$cy" '
# Set the year associated with the month (M) and timestamp or year (TorY):
BEGIN { ML = "JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec"
}
function setyear(M, TorY) {
if(index(TorY, ":") == 0) return(TorY) # We have a year; not a time.
m = (index(ML, M) + 2) / 3 # Convert month name to number
if(m > cm) return(cy - 1 " " TorY) # return last year + time
else return(cy " " TorY) # return this eyar + time
}
/^On since/ {
$5 = setyear($3, $5)
}
/^Last login/ {
$6 = setyear($4, $6)
}
{ print
}' report.txt
will produce the output:
Code:

If you just want the year and not the timestamp for data within the last six months, delete the code marked in red.
Although this was written and tested using the Korn shell, it will also work with bash or any other shell that performs standard parameter substitutions.
If you want to run this on a Solaris/SunOS system, use /usr/xpg4/bin/awk, /usr/xpg6/bin/awk, or nawk instead of the default /usr/bin/awk.
did you change your awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk?
I just tested on a solaris9 and the given code by Don works perfectly... ( at the condition as mentionned in post#8 to to use a different awk for Solaris...)
#!/bin/ksh
cmy=$(date +'%m%Y')
cm=${cmy%????}
cy=${cmy#??}
/usr/xpg4/bin/awk -v cm="${cm# }" -v cy="${cy}" 'BEGIN{ ML = "JanFebMarAprMayJu
nJulAugSepOctNovDec"}'
function setyear(M, TorY) {
if(index(TorY, ":") == 0) return(TorY) # We have a year; not a time.
m = (index(ML, M) + 2) / 3 # Convert month name to number
if(m > cm) return(cy - 1 " " TorY) # return last year + time
else return(cy " " TorY) # return this eyar + time
}
/^On since/ {
$5 = setyear($3, $5)
}
/^Last login/ {
$6 = setyear($4, $6)
}
{ print
}' report.txt
but I am getting below error
Code:
report.ksh[8]: syntax error at line 8 : `(' unexpected
Adding an unmatched single quote in the middle of an awk script can cause lots of syntax problems (such as the error you are getting here).
Spliting the string containing the abbreviated month names onto multiple lines will cause other problems depending on the current month and the months of the dates found in the data you're processing.
Try replacing the lines in the code you have written:
Thanks Don. It worked. But I am getting the below O/P when I ran the script
Code:
+ + date +%m%Y
cmy=022014
+ cm=02
+ cy=2014
+ /usr/xpg4/bin/awk -v cm=02 -v cy=2014 BEGIN{ ML = "JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec"}
function setyear(TorY,M) {
if(index(TorY, ":") == 0) return(TorY) # We have a year; not a time.
m = (index(ML, M) + 2) / 3 # Convert month name to number
if(m > cm) return(cy - 1 " " TorY) # return last year + time
else return(cy " " TorY) # return this eyar + time
}
/^On since/ {
$5 = setyear($3, $5)
}
/^Last login/ {
$6 = setyear($4, $6)
}
