Hi,

In order to log the logintime for a person on a certain PC running FreeBSD =
5.3,
I want to call a "logout procedure" when the person logs out (either out of=
 Gnome or
with a shutdown) as follow:

last -y -t ttyv0 | awk '{print $1,$4,$5,$6,$9}' | loginperiod >> /home/user=
/<name>/Test.log

where loginperiod is a tested Perl script which will give the required outp=
ut.
However, the total logintime is written in /var/log/wtmp during the logout =
process. Just after
that moment, I want to call my script, using the command sequence above, an=
d seperately log the time
in /home of the user (or like: <user>_Timesheet.log instead of Test.log).
I have tried to call this script in /etc/rc.shutdown, but it only creates T=
est.log as an empty
file (the command above will give an output like: <name> <date> <time today=
> <time this month>=20
<total logins>).
Where, during the logout procedure, is /var/log/wtmp updated for the user t=
ime?
Where and how should I call the above command sequence in order to seperate=
ly log the logintime
for today using the last command??

Thank you in advance for any insights,
Eugene Zegers
