LASTCOMM(1) General Commands Manual LASTCOMM(1)
NAME
lastcomm – show last commands executed in reverse order
SYNOPSIS
lastcomm [-f file] [command ...] [user ...] [terminal ...]
DESCRIPTION
lastcomm gives information on previously executed commands. With no
arguments, lastcomm prints information about all the commands recorded
during the current accounting file's lifetime.
Option:
-f file Read from file rather than the default accounting file.
If called with arguments, only accounting entries with a matching command
name, user name, or terminal name are printed. So, for example:
lastcomm a.out root ttyd0
would produce a listing of all the executions of commands named a.out by
user root on the terminal ttyd0.
For each process entry, the following are printed.
• The name of the user who ran the process.
• Flags, as accumulated by the accounting facilities in the system.
• The command name under which the process was called.
• The amount of cpu time used by the process (in seconds).
• The time the process started.
• The elapsed time of the process.
The flags are encoded as follows: “S” indicates the command was executed by
the super-user, “F” indicates the command ran after a fork, but without a
following exec(3), “C” indicates the command was run in PDP-11
compatibility mode (VAX only), “D” indicates the command terminated with
the generation of a core file, and “X” indicates the command was terminated
with a signal.
