OUTPUT OF LASTCOMM COMMAND

[conquersmile]

Hello,

I want to have a snapshot of the output of the lastcomm command.

I cannot access it due to some settings to be done at admin side.

Before asking my sys admn to do that, I want to see the output and know if this command is what i have been looking for.

Regards,
Padma Swamy

Thank you Steve,

I think this is what I was looking for,

As you know last command gives ip address, login time but does not give me the command executed during that time.

i hope combination of the both the commands will help me because i want to generate a report which shows

LOGINNAME IP ADDRESSS TIME COMMAND EXECUTED

This is a kind of health check i want to do to my area to see if there is anybody else logging in with my id and if yes then what is being done.

Once again thank u
