Linux Essentials (010-160) — Question 46

Which of the following outputs could stem from the command last?

Answer options

• A. 1 ls 2 cat text.txt 3 logout
• B. Password for user last changed at Sat Mar 31 16:38:57 EST 2018
• C. Last login: Fri Mar 23 10:56:39 2018 from server.example.com
• D. EXT4-fs (dm-7): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
• E. root tty2 Wed May 17 21:11 - 21:11 (00:00)

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The last command is used to display a list of recent logins, which is why option E is correct as it shows a user login event. Options A, B, C, and D do not represent output from the last command; they relate to other system commands or events that are not relevant to user login history.
