Last time a person logged in

Jay_122 — Wed, 24 Mar 2004 13:38:13 GMT

Is there any script that will tell me that last time users defined in the password file logged in? I am familiar with the last command, but our wtmp file has data from more then a year ago and we have a lot of users in the password file. So I was hoping that there was a script to wade through and list the most recent login.

No script, but it's easy to do.

$ last|grep username|head -n 1

will give you the most recent.

Try this little script:

for USER in $(cat /etc/passwd | awk -F : '{print $1}'
do
LOGIN=$(last ${USER} | head -1)
echo ${LOGIN} >> /tmp/last_logins
done
