Lab 3-4 Shell Script to track user's login pattern
Lab 3-4 Shell Script Requirement
Lab 3-4 Shell Script Solution
#!/bin/bash
# Lab3-4
# Module 3 - Variables and Expressions
# Write a script that allows the user to track down someone's log in pattern in the system. The script will allow the user to view all user IDs who.ve logged in to the system on a particular day, and then allow the user to choose one particular user id to view all his/her log in time within a range of days.
# Module 4: Selection and Looping (added after done with Module 3)
# The last output line of the last command shows the earliest log in date that is kept track in the history file, wtmp. Use this earliest log in day as the limit to how far the user can go back in time to search for log in information. Don't hard code the earliest day in your script.
# Assumption: Your script should get this information from last utility, but for now you can assume that the script only has to work between the months of April & May.
# Module 4
