is there a cmd to display a user's last login?

Hello there,

I am trying to find out when a user last logged into the system. I have this capability on HP-UX with the command: getprpw. This command tells me when a user last logged in. I know this command is HP specific, but want to know if anyone knows of a linux command that does the same thing.

Regards,

Bret

Try with:

Code:

last

You could use the last command, it list all logins since the last time the wtmp file ws cleared. Something like: last | grep jowblow

Find the last time and you've got it.

There are probably other ways also.

Hope this helps
