     uptime

     -r   Search backwards only to last reboot

     -u   Print uptime since last reboot

     -n   Print a maximum of n lines


EXAMPLES

     last reboot         # When was the system last rebooted?

     last ast            # When was the last login for ast?

     last -10 tty00 tty01
                         # Display last 10  logins  on  tty00  or

     uptime              # Display uptime (likewise last -u)


DESCRIPTION

     Last Searches backward through the login administration file
     (default  is /usr/adm/wtmp), printing information about pre-
     vious logins and reboots.  During a long search, the SIGQUIT
     signal  (CTRL-\)  causes last to display how far back it has
     gone; it then continues.

     Uptime, an alias for last -u, displays the time  the  system
     is running since the last reboot.
