# List Of Sessions To A Machine The `last` command is a handy way to find out who has been connecting to a machine and when. > Last will list the sessions of specified users, ttys, and hosts, in > reverse time order. Each line of output contains the user name, the tty > from which the session was conducted, any hostname, the start and stop > times for the session, and the duration of the session. If the session is > still continuing or was cut short by a crash or shutdown, last will so > indicate. In particular, this can be useful for finding an IP address that you want to connect to. See `man last` for more details.
