Hi:
Look at this /var/log/messages, if you please:
Code:
Jun 20 04:40:01 darkstar syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
Jun 20 04:54:30 darkstar -- MARK --
Jun 20 06:34:30 darkstar -- MARK --

This is the entire file, except for the dots. The machine had been turned on all night. Then I went to the machine and, first thing I do is
$ less /var/log/messages
$
The file was as above. But I know I was working at it from 7am to 10am at least. This needs clarification:
4:40 I turn on.
up to 6:00 idle
6:00 activity at keyboard
8:00 I leave work at the machine
It's just an example as I don't exactly remember the timing. But according to the entries I was never working.
