collecting & displaying of last user id and date of last login
hi,
i needed to write a script to "collect and display the last user id and date of last login".
the requirement is:
when a workstation stops reporting it could be for many reasons. if we know the last person who logged in before the workstation came down, then we can contact the last person to login to that specific machine and ask them if they know what has happened to the workstation.
can someone provide a script to "collecting & displaying of last user id and date of last login".
thanks in advance,

how to get rid of "^m" from sql query
i've searched the net and tried various solutions that don't work for me.
i'm trying to return values from a sql query and i keep getting a "^m" appended to one field.
code:
getting data from table
select * from table...
spooling to $home/out.log
...
wf_data=`tail -7 $home/out.log | awk '{print $1}'` assigning the values to wf_data variable
echo $wf_data > $home/out.log returning the data to out.log ... (may be dumb way but it works.. i need it for formatting purposes
wf=`tail -1 $home/out.log | awk '{print $1}'` #getting workflow
f=`tail -1 $home/out.log | awk '{print $2}'` #getting folder
s=`tail -1 $home/out.log | awk '{print $3}'` #getting server
u=`tail -1 $home/out.log | awk '{print $4}'` #getting user
p=`tail -1 $home/out.log | awk '{print $5}'` #getting pass
variable wf is having the "^m" appended to it.
any suggestions as to how to remove it?
(i tried sed -i '' "s/\r//g" $home/out.log (along with other variations) right after the sql statements and other sections - didn't work)

make an account inactive after 90 days.
is this possible?
say i create an account today and in 90 days i want it to be turned off.
is this sort of thing possible using the built in components of a unix system?
(using solaris 9)
i see things about password expires, but what if the person changes his password on the 89th day, wouldn't that then set it again for another 90 days?

determining type of file
hello,
i'm attempting to modify a script so it can be executed via a batch scheduler. part of the script calls a program called direct (which i believe may have something to do with connect direct). i have tried cat and vi on the file; cat returns absolute gibberish, vi states the file is executable.
i need to know the purpose of the program (it's inputs/outputs) and any parameters it requires. short of running it (it's on a live server) is there a way of finding out what type of program it is so i can view the code?
any help would be appreciated!
