Post by: lionwag on December 20, 2020, 09:35:37 AM

How do I access the date and time a user is logged in and out?

Ohh, that would be useful for parental control. Like the Nintendo parental app.
I would like to know too ;)

@lionwag @TheDead

Could use 'last' - you'll want to head or more it thou (depending)....

Code: [Select]

last |more
last |head

The simple commands--     lastlog    --will display up to a month of login data
                                        w           --will display current user and uptime
                                        uptime   --will display current session uptime


If you know the user name--  last -f /var/log/wtmp username

Correct info, thanks.  How do I add a SOLVED tag?
