NAME¶
aulast - a program similar to last
SYNOPSIS¶
aulast [ options ] [ user ] [ tty ]
DESCRIPTION¶
aulast is a program that prints out a listing of the last logged in users
similarly to the program
last and
lastb. Aulast searches back
through the audit logs or the given audit log file and displays a list of all
users logged in (and out) based on the range of time in the audit logs. Names
of users and tty’s can be given, in which case aulast will show only
those entries matching the arguments. Names of ttys can be abbreviated, thus
aulast 0 is the same as last tty0.
The pseudo user reboot logs in each time the system is rebooted. Thus last
reboot will show a log of all reboots since the log file was created.
The main difference that a user will notice is that
aulast print events
from oldest to newest, while
last prints records from newest to oldest.
Also, the audit system is not notified each time a tty or pty is allocated, so
you may not see quite as many records indicating users and their tty's.
OPTIONS¶
- --bad
- Report on the bad logins.
- --extract
- Write raw audit records used to create the displayed report into a file
aulast.log in the current working directory.
- -ffile
- Use the file instead of the audit logs for input.
- --proof
- Print out the audit event serial numbers used to determine the preceding
line of the report. A Serial number of 0 is a place holder and not an
actual event serial number. The serial numbers can be used to examine the
actual audit records in more detail. Also an ausearch query is printed
that will let you find the audit records associated with that session.
- --stdin
- Take audit records from stdin.
EXAMPLES¶
To see this month's logins
ausearch --start this-month --raw | aulast --stdin
