Is it possible to find out the login history, i.e. the exact time on the previous days a user has logged on, respectively the system has been rebooted (though these times are not the same, in my case I would be happy getting either one)? I know that from the data displayed by 'uptime', I can calculate the time since when the PC is running now, but I would also find the time of the previous system startups or user logins. Maybe this is recorded in /var/run/utmp (at least uptime gets is information from there), but I don't know whether this records the history, and it is a binary file anyway.
