命令简介：
该命令用来列出目前与过去登录系统的用户相关信息。指令英文原义：show listing of last logged in users
执行权限 ：有些需要特殊权限
指令所在路径：/usr/bin/last
执行last指令时，它会读取位于/var/log目录下名称为wtmp的文件，并把该给文件的内容记录的登录系统的用户名单全部显示出来。默认是显示wtmp的记录，btmp能显示的更详细，可以显示远程登录，例如ssh登录。
utmp文件中保存的是当前正在本系统中的用户的信息。
wtmp文件中保存的是登录过本系统的用户的信息。
命令输出字段介绍：
第一列：用户名
第二列：终端位置。pts/0 (伪终端) 意味着从诸如SSH或telnet的远程连接的用户.tty (teletypewriter) 意味着直接连接到计算机或者本地连接的用户
第三列：登录ip或者内核 。如果你看见:0.0 或者什么都没有，这意味着用户通过本地终端连接。除了重启活动，内核版本会显示在状态中。
第四列：开始时间
第五列：结束时间（still login in 还未退出 down 直到正常关机 crash 直到强制关机）
第六列：持续时间
命令语法：
last [-R] [-num] [ -n num ] [-adiowx] [ -f file ] [ -t YYYYMMDDHHMMSS ] [name...] [tty...]
命令参数：
| 参数 | 长参数 | 描叙 |
| -a | 将登录系统的的主机名称或IP地址，显示在最后一行 | |
| -d | 将IP地址转换成主机名称 | |
| -f | 指定记录文件，默认是显示/var/log目录下的wtmp文件的记录，但/var/log目录下得btmp能显示的内容更丰富，可以显示远程登录，例如ssh登录 ，包括失败的登录请求。 | |
| -i | -i显示特定ip登录的情况。跟踪用 -i显示特定ip登录的情况。跟踪用 | |
| -o | Read an old-type wtmp file (written by linux-libc5 applications). | |
| -n | -n <显示行数>或-<显示行数> 设置显示多少行记录 | |
| -w | Display full user and domain names in the output | |
| -R | 不显示登入系统的主机名称或IP（省略 hostname 的栏位） | |
| -t | 显示YYYYMMDDHHMMSS之前的信息 | |
| -x | 显示系统关闭、用户登录和退出的历史 |
