Use the "last" program.

Which is worse: rm /* -r or xhost - ?

The first one, but it could be worse with the -r option properly located.

Code:

# rm /* -r
rm: /boot is a directory
rm: /dev is a directory
rm: /devices is a directory
...
-r: No such file or directory
# xhost -
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect

That's my rhetorical sig, not a question!

I obviously noticed it is your signature, but a sentence starting with "Which" and ending with "?" is very much a question too.

This rethorical question has a faulty syntax.

but it does'nt diplay the logoff ( of course it displays the login-logoff time)

You can add the time connected to the login time to figure out the logout time.
