     last, uptime - display recent on-line session records, show uptime

SYNOPSIS
     last [-f file] [-r] [-n] [name] [tty] ...
     uptime

OPTIONS

     -f   Use file instead of /usr/adm/wtmp

     -r   Search backwards only to last reboot

     -u   Print uptime since last reboot

     -n   Print a maximum of n lines

EXAMPLES

     last reboot         # When was the system last rebooted?

     last ast            # When was the last login for ast?

     last -10 tty00 tty01

     uptime              # Display uptime (likewise last -u)

DESCRIPTION

     Last Searches backward through the login administration file (default  is
     /usr/adm/wtmp),  printing  information about previous logins and reboots.
     During a long search, the SIGQUIT signal (CTRL-\) causes last to  display
     how far back it has gone; it then continues.

     Uptime, an alias for last -u, displays the time  the  system  is  running
     since the last reboot.
