shows history of logins on the server

outputs a history of logins on the server (top 10, when piped to 'head'); optional flags: '-a' put the hostname at the end of the line (good for long hostnames), '-i' post the IP instead of the hostname, '-F' put the full login and logout times, rather than short times.

find files between specific date/times and move them to another folder

touch -t 201208211200 first ; touch -t 201208220100 last ;

creates 2 files: first & last, with timestamps that the find command should look between:

201208211200 = 2012-08-21 12:00

201208220100 = 2012-08-22 01:00

then we run find command with "-newer" switch, that finds by comparing timestamp against a reference file:

find /path/to/files/ -newer first ! -newer last

meaning: find any files in /path/to/files that are newer than file "first" and not newer than file "last"

pipe the output of this find command through xargs to a move command:

| xargs -ifile mv -fv file /path/to/destination/

and finally, remove the reference files we created for this operation:

rm first; rm last;

See a full last history by expanding logrotated wtmp files

When your wtmp files are being logrotated, here's an easy way to unpack them all on the fly to see more than a week in the past. The rm is the primitive way to prevent symlink prediction attack.

Quick glance at who's been using your system recently

This command takes the output of the 'last' command, removes empty lines, gets just the first field ($USERNAME), sort the $USERNAMES in reverse order and then gives a summary count of unique matches.
