i tried to run the command
->last -s yesterday -t today
in my Centos7 machine but it shows me the error as Invalid arguments.
thats because you last command is too old , may be from 2004 , in Ubintu 18.04 its from 2013 an it already includes the options mentioned in the article . Or another option you ca do , I already did it , is to compile one of the newest packaget from util-linux from
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.35/
and you are gonna have all the options the article mention for the last command
cheers
How to control how far back this goes? Mine seems to keep only the last week or so
