.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <utmp.h>
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The file
|
|
.Aq Pa utmp.h
|
|
declares the structures used to record information about current
|
|
users in the file
|
|
.Nm utmp ,
|
|
logins and logouts in the file
|
|
.Nm wtmp ,
|
|
and last logins in the file
|
|
.Nm lastlog .
|
|
The time stamps of date changes, shutdowns and reboots are also logged in
|
|
the
|
|
.Nm wtmp
|
|
file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These files can grow rapidly on busy systems, so daily or weekly rotation
|
|
is recommended.
|
|
If any one of these files does not exist, it is not created.
|
|
They must be created manually and are maintained by
|
|
.Xr newsyslog 8 .

|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each time a user logs in, the
|
|
.Xr login 1
|
|
program looks up the user's
|
|
.Tn UID
|
|
in the file
|
|
.Nm lastlog.
|
|
If it is found, the timestamp of the last time the user logged
|
|
in, the terminal line and the hostname
|
|
are written to the standard output (unless the login is
|
|
.Em quiet ,
|
|
see
|
|
.Xr login 1 ) .
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm login
|
|
program then records the new login time in the file
|
|
.Nm lastlog .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After the new
|
|
.Fa lastlog
|
|
record is written,
|
|
.\" the
|
|
.\" .Xr libutil 3
|
|
.\" routine
|
|
the file
|
|
.Nm utmp
|
|
is opened and the
|
|
.Fa utmp
|
|
record for the user inserted.
|
|
This record remains there until
|
|
the user logs out at which time it is deleted.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm utmp
|
|
file is used by the programs
|
|
.Xr rwho 1 ,
|
|
.Xr users 1 ,
|
|
.Xr w 1 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr who 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Next, the
|
|
.Xr login
|
|
program opens the file
|
|
.Nm wtmp ,
|
|
and appends the user's
|
|
.Fa utmp
|
|
record.
|
|
The same
|
|
.Fa utmp
|
|
record, with an updated time stamp is later appended
|
|
to the file when the user logs out (see
|
|
.Xr init 8 ) .
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm wtmp
|
|
file is used by the programs
|
|
.Xr last 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr ac 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the event of a date change, a shutdown or reboot, the
|
|
following items are logged in the
|
|
.Nm wtmp
|
|
file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width shutdownxx -compact
|
|
.It Li reboot
|
|
.It Li shutdown
|
|
A system reboot or shutdown has been initiated.
|
|
The character
|
|
.Ql \&~
|
|
is placed in the field
|
|
.Fa ut_line ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Li reboot
|
|
or
|
|
.Li shutdown
|
|
in the field
|
|
.Fa ut_name
|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr shutdown 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr reboot 8 ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It Li date
|
|
The system time has been manually or automatically updated
|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr date 1 ) .
|
|
The command name
|
|
.Xr date
|
|
is recorded in the field
|
|
.Fa ut_name .
|
|
In the field
|
|
.Fa ut_line ,
|
|
the character
|
|
.Ql \\*(Ba
|
|
indicates the time prior to the change, and the character
|
|
.Ql \&{
|
|
indicates the new time.
