DESCRIPTION

14       The lastcomm command gives information on previously executed commands.
15       lastcomm with no arguments displays information about all the  commands
16       recorded  during the current accounting file's lifetime. If called with
17       arguments, lastcomm only displays accounting entries  with  a  matching
18       command-name, user-name, or terminal-name. If extended process account‐
19       ing is active (see acctadm(1M)) and is recording the  appropriate  data
20       items, lastcomm attempts to take data from the current extended process
21       accounting file. If standard process  accounting  is  active,  lastcomm
22       takes data from the current standard accounting file (see acct(2)).
23
24
25       If  terminal-name  is  `-  -',  there  was  no  controlling TTY for the
26       process. The process was probably executed during boot time. If  termi‐
27       nal-name  is  `??',  the  controlling  TTY  could not be decoded into a
28       printable name.

30
31       For each process entry, lastcomm displays the following items of infor‐
32       mation:
33
34           o      The command name under which the process was called.
35
36           o      One  or  more flags indicating special information about the
37                  process. The flags have the following meanings:
38
39
40                  F    The process performed a fork but not an exec.
41
42
43                  S    The process ran as a set-user-id program.
44
45
46
47           o      The name of the user who ran the process.
48
49           o      The terminal which the user was logged in on at the time (if
50                  applicable).
51
52           o      The amount of CPU time used by the process (in seconds).
53
54           o      The date and time the process exited.
