Hi everyone. I am sort of a newbie to administering a SCO openserver. Using 5.0.4/5/6, I can check scoadmin, system, security and check some reports regarding axctivities such as terminal and user logins, but only on a day to day bases!!.
I would like to collect user and terminal activity and logins through out the day and APPEND saving the info to the same file (or 2 files) every day for my client to check at his convenience.
Anybody knows if this is possible? and if so, how?
Thank you for any input.
 
The /etc/wtmpand wtmpx and the various commands that access them give you what you want. By default, that's cleared out weekly by a cron job but you can keep it longer or just extract what you need before that and store it elsewhere. See "man who", "man last", "man wtmp"
