Hi, For a monitor script I thought I'd use the -t switch of the last command hoping to get only the latest entries from wtmp. Seems there's something wrong there, since it will return all entries in wtmp regardless. Before I submit a bugreport I'd like to know if anyone on the list has noticed the same.
The exact command I used is "last -t 20050721000000" on a host running Etch (updated today, but it happened before the upgrade as well). Another weird thing "last -t 2005072000000" will work without an error (note this is YYYYMMDDHHMMS<- not SS). Cutting off a second digit from the end will result in an error (as I'd expect). Using another time instead of midnight shows the same behavior (so it's not specific for the zeros). A last experiment (pun intended) with "last -x" returned all entries in wtmp too and not just the runlevel changes... not what I expected from reading the manpage. Could someone confirm this for me before I go bark against some tree in the BTS please? Sincerely HdV -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
