awk

假设last -n 5的输出如下

[root@www ~]# last -n 5 <==仅取出前五行
root     pts/1   192.168.1.100  Tue Feb 10 11:21   still logged in
root     pts/1   192.168.1.100  Tue Feb 10 00:46 - 02:28  (01:41)
root     pts/1   192.168.1.100  Mon Feb  9 11:41 - 18:30  (06:48)
dmtsai   pts/1   192.168.1.100  Mon Feb  9 11:41 - 11:41  (00:00)
root     tty1                   Fri Sep  5 14:09 - 14:10  (00:01)

如果只是显示最近登录的5个帐号

#last -n 5 | awk  '{print $1}'
