[net.wanted.sources] wanted: program to total up login sessions by time

dave@lsuc.UUCP (David Sherman) (02/12/85)

I have a program called "logcount", which I wrote some time
ago to total up users' login sessions from /usr/adm/wtmp and report
time in hours and minutes. (It's slightly tricky, because you
have to allow for overlapping logins on different ttys.)

I'm wondering if anyone has something similar, before I attack
my own. My version has several bugs, and needs additional
options (like a total logcount for a user on a particular set
of ttys only). If no-one has such a tool, I'll fix my own
and post it, but someone out there has probably done it already.

An awk script which works from the output of BSD's last(1) would
be a useful alternative, but it would have to be fairly flexible.

Have you tried ac -p (man 8 ac)?
