I am sick and tired of my kids fighting over who has been on the computer most and when. I wrote a howlong program that shows a filtered output that looks like:
printf '%-8s %s %s %s %s\n' $(last -R | grep -E 'tty[[:digit:]]+' | grep "$(date +'%a %b %e')" | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f1,6-) which dumps out something like: deedee Sun Jan 26 15:19 - 16:05 (00:45) james Sun Jan 26 12:52 - 15:19 (02:27) deedee Sun Jan 26 10:46 - 12:51 (02:04) patrick Sun Jan 26 07:48 - 10:46 (02:57) patrick Sun Jan 26 07:39 - crash (00:07) Before I start hacking on this, which will be admittedly rather simple, does anyone know of a utility that will do this? And include some other processing, like totals and percentages? -- Alan Young /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
