| | user last logged in!
| |
| | Checking the modification date of the home folder will not work
| | because there are many users that use the same home folder. I had
| | heard SCO has some sort of built in way of checking for this, or that
| | there is a unix command that can do it.
| |
| | Anybody out there able to help me out?
| |
| | Thanks in advance!
|
|
| # last user_name | head -2
| ... or ...
| # last user_name | head -2 | tail -1

Since the original poster is looking for "old user accounts", the 'last'
command is useless, because it will only provide login data for the
last one to seven days -- unless one has changed root's crontab to run
/etc/cleanup at some time other than early Sunday morining.
