LASTCOMM(1)                                                        LASTCOMM(1)


NAME
       lastcomm - show last commands executed in reverse order

SYNOPSIS
       lastcomm [ command name ] ... [user name] ... [terminal name] ...

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.  If called with argu‐
       ments, 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 exited.

       The  flags are encoded as follows: ‘‘S’’ indicates the command was exe‐
       cuted by the super-user, ‘‘F’’ indicates the command ran after a  fork,
       but  without  a  following exec, ‘‘C’’ indicates the command was run in
       PDP-11 compatibility mode (VAX only), ‘‘D’’ indicates the command  ter‐
       minated  with  the  generation  of a core file, and ‘‘X’’ indicates the
       command was terminated with a signal.
