SYNOPSIS

lastcomm [commandname] ... [username] ... [terminalname] ...

DESCRIPTION

lastcomm gives information on previously executed commands. If no arguments are speci®ed, lastcomm prints information about all the commands recorded in the accounting ®le, /var/adm/pacct during the current accounting ®le's lifetime. If called with arguments, only accounting entries with a matching command name, user name, or terminal name are printed. For example, to produce a listing of all executions of commands named a.out by user root on terminal ttyd0 use:

lastcomm a.out root ttyd0

For each process entry, the following are printed.

∙Name of the user who ran the process.

∙Flags, as accumulated by the accounting facilities in the system.

∙Command name under which the process was called.

∙Amount of cpu time used by the process (in seconds).

∙What time the process started.

Flags are encoded as follows:

SCommand was executed by a user who has appropriate privileges.

FCommand ran after a fork, but without a following exec.

DCommand terminated with the generation of a core ®le.

X Command was terminated with the signal SIGTERM.
