lastcomm: Display information about commands executed on a given terminal.
$ lastcomm --tty ${terminal_name}
try on your machine

The command "lastcomm --tty ${terminal_name}" is used to display information about the previous commands executed on a specific terminal.

Here's a breakdown of this command:

  • "lastcomm" is the command itself, which is used to display information about previously executed commands.
  • "--tty" is an option that specifies that we want to filter the output based on a specific terminal.
  • "${terminal_name}" is a placeholder for the name of the terminal you want to filter the output for. You need to replace this with the actual name of the terminal you are interested in.

When you run this command, it will show you a list of the commands executed on the specified terminal, along with information such as the command name, the user who executed it, the time it was executed, and so on.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
