SUMMARY: number days since last login

And the winner is - Neil Hunt:

"Perhaps you can look at Sys::Lastlog"

Just about everyone says - how hard can it be? Until they try to write it. Last/finger provides some amount of randomness on reporting of date formats, and I wasn't in the mood to write C code to use lastlog.h. So, here's a slice of Perl code to do this:


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Sys::Lastlog;
use vars qw( $login $port $host $when);

$ll = Sys::Lastlog->new();
$llent = $ll->getlluid(0);
$days = int((( time - $llent->ll_time() ) / 60 / 60 / 24));

print "days = $days\n";

exit;


Thanks to all, and I'll be more clear on my next request... :)

Thanks!

Steve B.
