Hey, I'm not sure if this is a general fix, but it fixes for me locally: --- a/login-utils/last.c (revision before change) +++ b/login-utils/last.c (revision with change) @@ process_wtmp_file(...) switch statement: - case BOOT_TIME: - strcpy(ut.ut_line, "system boot"); - quit = list(ctl, &ut, lastdown, R_REBOOT); - lastboot = ut.ut_tv.tv_sec; - down = 1; - break; + case BOOT_TIME: + strcpy(ut.ut_line, "system boot"); + /* If this boot record is older than a later boot event and no shutdown time has yet been recorded, + skip printing it so that it doesn't erroneously show "still running". */ + if (lastboot != 0 && ut.ut_tv.tv_sec < lastboot && lastdown == currentdate) + break; + quit = list(ctl, &ut, lastdown, R_REBOOT); + lastboot = ut.ut_tv.tv_sec; + down = 1; + break;
