lastlogin for users

Here is a script that works for me.


find /home -name .lastlogin -mtime +60 > /tmp/lastlogin.rpt {} \;
cat /tmp/lastlogin.rpt awk -F: '{ print $1, $4 }' >> /tmp/lastlogin.info

or something like that.

You can make this better by creating a "for loop" to copy each user info right after the info on the .lastlogin file that would probably work better than this little bit.

Enjoy!

You can modify this to capture data from the passwd file and associate it with the file owner which is the user.
