Lastlog and launched process
Hello there,

I "discovered" an interesting command lastlog, but I couldn't find, until nowSmilie, if it's possible to get a list of the launched process by users and root during a certain of time...

...any idea would be really appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance.

Maybe do a "ps aux" and parse it bye user and start time.

Should it work even for terminated process?!?

With ps you get an actual process status list, no history. I don't know any native tool that does that.
I guess you have to write something your own.
You can check for your OS, whatever it is, what kind of switches are there for ps or maybe there are tools available that can do such stuff.
