finding out if anyone has logged on to my account (by su)

[mckarl]

Hello everyone. Me again ). <br>
<br>
I'm looking for a solution to find out anyone who is logged on to my account, other than me (diffrent pts/# right??)<br>
<br>
I am looking to place it within a shell script, and if it is possible to see a <b>previouse</b> login to my account (and provide me with the IP address and time) it would be most helpful. - and also who is <b>currently</b> logged into my account. <br>
<br>
(and maybe an activation of a tone, when someone actually <b>logges</b> into my account whilst i am within my own.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
-- blimey ... long one! <br>

You can try looking at the file /etc/security/lastlog.<br>
You cannot check your own id because it will be current but if you ask the &quot;root&quot; user he can look for your id and tell when last it logged in successfull and unsuccessfull.<br>
