LASTCOMM(1) BSD Reference Manual LASTCOMM(1)NAMElastcomm - show last commands executed in reverse order
SYNOPSISlastcomm [-f file] [command ...] [user ...] [terminal ...]
DESCRIPTIONlastcomm gives information on previously executed commands. With no argu-
ments, lastcomm prints information about all the commands recorded during
the current accounting file's lifetime.
The options are as follows:
-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:
+ Name of the user who ran the process.
+ Flags, as accumulated by the system's accounting facilities.
+ Command name under which the process was called.
+ Amount of CPU time used by the process (in seconds).
+ Time the process started.
+ Elapsed time of the process.
The flags are encoded as follows: 'S' indicates the command was executed
by the superuser, 'F' indicates the command ran after a fork, but without
a following exec(3), 'C' indicates the command was run in PDP-11 compati-
bility 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.
