|
|
hostname, the start and stop times for the session, and the duration
|
|
of the session. If the session is still continuing or was cut short by
|
|
a crash or shutdown,

.Ar tty .
|
|
Tty names may be given fully or abbreviated, for example,

multiple arguments are given, the information which applies to any of the

.Dq Li "last root -t console"
|
|
would list all of
|
|
.Dq Li root Ns 's
|
|

.Sh BUGS
|
|
If a login shell should terminate abnormally for some reason, it is likely
|
|
that a logout record won't be written to the wtmp file. In this case,
|
|
.Nm last
|
|
will indicate the logout time as "shutdown".
