Hi,

Not directly possible, you could limit the number of lines.

# last -500

Hi:

You can use 'fwtmp' to convert the binary files to formatted ASCII ones:

# last|/usr/sbin/acct/fwtmp

This output includes the time and year of the record as well as (most importantly) the epoch seconds representation of the date and time timestamp which immediately preceeds the date (month) in the output.

Don't think there is any such option. Need to write your own script/code for this.
