User Commands lastcomm(1)NAME
lastcomm - display the last commands executed, in reverse orderSYNOPSIS
lastcomm [ -f file ] [ -x ] [ command-name ] ... [ user-name ] ... [ terminal-name ] ...DESCRIPTION
The lastcomm command gives information on previously exe- cuted commands. lastcomm with no arguments displays informa- tion about all the commands recorded during the current accounting file's lifetime. If called with arguments, lastcomm only displays accounting entries with a matching command-name, user-name, or terminal-name. If extended pro- cess accounting is active (see acctadm(1M)) and is recording the appropriate data items, lastcomm attempts to take data from the current extended process accounting file. If stan- dard process accounting is active, lastcomm takes data from the current standard accounting file (see acct(2)). If terminal-name is `- -', there was no controlling TTY for the process. The process was probably executed during boot time. If terminal-name is `??', the controlling TTY could not be decoded into a printable name. For each process entry, lastcomm displays the following items of information: + The command name under which the process was called. + One or more flags indicating special information about the process. The flags have the following meanings: F The process performed a fork but not an exec. S The process ran as a set-user-id program. + The name of the user who ran the process. + The terminal which the user was logged in on at the time (if applicable). + The amount of CPU time used by the process (in seconds). + The date and time the process exited.OPTIONS
