$ man who
WHO(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual WHO(1)
NAME
who - display who is logged in
SYNOPSIS
who am I
who [file]
DESCRIPTION
The who utility displays a list of all users currently logged on
^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^
It looks like 'andy' was logged off when you ran the who(1). Was he
not? If the user is still logged in, the last field of the last(1)
output is 'still logged in' rather than a logout time and duration.
