Hello!
I had the problem today that I wanted to get some information out
of my wtmp file about system usage, and I needed logins
categorized by year. In Debian, "last" gives output like
ralph pts/1 monk Mon Nov 15 14:32 still logged
in
ralph pts/0 monk Mon Nov 15 12:40 still logged
in
ab client48:0 client48 Mon Nov 15 12:26 - 13:22 (00:56)
i.e. it does not show the year of the login.
Of course you can always hack something together with Perl and
Sys::Utmp, but ist there some way of doing this with last or
some other common utility?
TIA
/ralph -- solved it in Perl for now, but I can't imagine this is
the most elegant way to do it.
