Is there a way to get a user login record after sleep?

I know that by opening terminal and typing in "last" (without the quote marks) that it will give me about a 3 week record of who has logged on my computer after shutdowns and restarts.
What I want to know is this:
a) Is there a way to get a user login record after the computer only goes to sleep?
b) is there a way to get the terminal to go back further than just 3 weeks or so for the shutdown/restart records?
Is there software that might do this???
Thanks in advance, this is important for me.

Thanks, Dave: so this is what I type in the terminal? "ls -l /var/log/wtmp*" (without the quotes). And how do you unzip something that has been "gzipped"?
"man gzip" will give you the details for using gzip
My first question can be explained this way: To get into the computer when it is coming out of sleep you need to type in a password, then it opens to the desktop. Is there a way I can find out the times over the course of a day/week/month that this is being done? i.e., is there a log being made somewhere of when the computer is being opened and signed onto after being asleep?
When you wake the computer from a sleep, you are not logging in again so there will be
no record of the event as a "login"
My computer possibly could be used by a few other people that have access to my computer password (don't ask why) and I basically want to know if they are signing on when I am away from my desk.
You may want to look at /var/log/asl.log or /var/log/secure.log which contain details of
authentication attempts (which is what you are doing) and failures.
I am not asking why you have multiple people accessing your computer with your password --
but consider setting up separate username, it is a lot easier to manage and you will probably
not be asking questions like this one.

  • My ipod is disable and i know my passcode is there a way to get more passcode login attempts?

    I remember my passcode after the fact that i have tried to put it in, now my ipod is locked. I do not have my laptop that my ipod is syncd to because i am currently deployed, is there a way to get more passcode attempts?

    Sorry but no. You have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.

  • Is there a way to notify/alert users about records from PSA

    Hi All,
    During transaction data load in BW 3.5 I am using the option" No update of transaction data if Master data does not exist" in the Infopackage.
    If any records don't meet this criteria they will show in different Request in PSA.
    My question: Is there a way to notify/alert users about these records from PSA?.
    Through process chain we can't send any alerts in this case as loads will not fail.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

  • Is there a way to get my purchased apps back after an accidental restore

    I was updating my ios software and accidentally unplugged the ipad before it finished.  That locked my ipad in 'restore mode'.  I tried starting/restarting, all the typical things, and the only way to unlock it was to go through with the restore.  I planned to reset it with a backup, however the backup is not there.  Right now, everything is gone and it's back to factory settings.  Please tell me there is a way to get my info back!

    You can download your purchased content again. Just go to the purchased tabs of all of the stores, iTunes, the App Store and iBooks, and download your paid content again. Virtually all of it will be free to download again as long as it is still in the store, as long as you use the same Apple ID and as long as the feature for the free download is available where you live,
    So just start in one of the stores, tap on the purchased tab, and start downloading again.

  • Is there any way to get around startup login?

    I recently resurrected a crashed G4 hard drive by connecting it to another computer in target mode, and fixing the hard drive with Disk Utility.
    However, when I then restarted the G4, I was asked for a username and password, even though I've never had a password-protected log-in on this machine before.
    I've tried evey previous username / password combo I can think of, but none of them work, so now I'm stuck with a machine that boots up, but won't allow me to log in. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

    If you just access that disk as a data Disk or using Firwire Target disk Mode (instead of starting up from it) no password should be needed.
    The usual way to get around a password is to reset that password. The tool to do that is on the Installer DVD.
    Start up from the DVD, but do not install.
    Answer only the "what language" question, if presented.
    Wait a quarter minute for the menuBar to be drawn.
    Choose reset password off one of the Menus.
    Reset the password.
    Notes: this destroys the old password and replaces it with the new one, so it is not the slightest bit "sneaky".
    The DVD is required, otherwise any 10-year old could do it.

  • OAM In Custom Login Form: Is there a way to get the user that was blocked?

    Hi
    I'm creating a custom login form and I need to capture which user was blocked if I get an OAM-5 error code. There is no parameter that specifies which user was filled and I can't capture it before because the login page post directly to the OAM Server.

  • Is there a way to get the User Preferences API *in* the Application?

    I'd like to use the NSUserDefaults system, specifically the UI build by a Settings Bundle, to display IN my app, and not the General Settings. I already know how to use NSUserDefaults to store-retrieve items, but I don't see why I should build the Settings UI manually in my app when I merely want exactly what it does in Settings.
    Does the API support this, or is there a third party tool? I haven't run across anything in Google.

    Currently/AFAIK, users must access manually via built-in 'Settings' only.

  • Is there a way to get a (return) value back after running Javascript statements in the backing bean?

    I have a usecase  where I need to run a javascript function from within the backing bean and get the value returned by the function.
    Example:
              In Java I have two variables  x and y, I want the javascript to return the larger value z.
              This is what I'm doing, but I have no means to get the values of variable z.
              StringBuilder script = new StringBuilder();
              script.append("var  z;");
              script.append("var  x = " + x + ";");
              script.append("var  y = " + y + ";");
              script.append("if  (x > y)  z = x  else z = y");
              FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
              ExtendedRenderKitService erks = Service.getRenderKitService(fctx,
              ExtendedRenderKitService.class); erks.addScript(fctx, script);
         The actual usecase is a bit complicated. It's a dragNdrop paradigm.
         I cannot capture the muse Release event (DropEvent ?) in the client side as (most likely) it is captured by ADF.
         The drop target is a RichTextEditor. I need to convert the DropEvent.getDropX() and DropEvent.getDropY() to get the caret position in the text editor.
    Any other solution to the issue is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -ab

    you can try it!
    erks.addScript(fctx, js_funcation_name("'"+x+"'","'"+y+"'","'"+x+"'","'"+x+"'",.....));//bean-> javaScript
    add javascript:
                   AdfCustomEvent.queue(p, 'XXXXX', {parameter:parameter_value},true);
    add:
    <af:serverListener type="XXXXX" method="#{ManageBean.funcation}"/>//js->bean

    You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses.

  • Is there a way to have 2 users - but neither have to log in everytime?

    Hi,
    A couple I know want to use 1 computer - have separate "accounts" so they can just see their email in MAIL, their own documents in DOCUMENTS, etc...
    However, neither want to keep putting in passwords to log in.
    Is there a way to get rid of passwords all together, but still have fast user switching in the upper right hand corner?
    Thanks in advance...

    It is possible to remove passwords from their accounts; so that they are not needed to log in.
    A passwordless admin account is a very bad idea. So if either of them are using admin accounts now (which they shouldn't be anyway), have them create a third account, make it admin, and then remove admin privileges and passwords from their own two user accounts. Keep a password on the admin account.

  • I upgraded to an iPad2 and recently pulled out my old iPad 1to re-gift to a family member. I can't remember the password I originally set up - is there a way to get beyond this?

    I upgraded to an iPad2 and recently pulled out my old iPad 1 to re-gift to a family member. I can't remember the password I originally set up - is there a way to get beyond this?  Each time I try a different password (trying any that I thought I might have originally used) it times out the tablet for up to an hour before I can try again.  Help?

    You can restore the device. That is what you have to do if you forget the passcode. You don't have to worry about syncing to your own computer either since you don't want to restore your data - you want to wipe it clean. Read these articles for more instructions

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Sometimes you may not be able to bypass the passcode at all when you try to restore. You may need to restore by putting the iPad into recovery mode. I have heard from some users that they did not have to do this when they restore after forgetting the passcode - but just in case you need the information, this will help you with that procedure.

  • Is there a way of getting Firefox to automaticly import the Explorer settings upon install?

    Hi!
    I'm trying to repack Firefox 3.6.3 into a MSI for a deployment install trough-out our organization. Since we're using Explorer as the default browser at the moment our users have all their bookmarks and such stored in Explorer. Now I'm wondering..
    Is there a way of getting Firefox to automaticly import the Explorer settings upon install?
    -Without having the wizard popup.
    I also don't want Firefox to be the default browser since the users have to decide for them self. But atleast they have there bookmarks / defaultpage and proxy settings if they decide to go for Firefox.
    Regards

    I'm not sure if you have the capability, but did you try copying from your premiere sequence and then pasting into your after fx timeline? i was working with a MUCH shorter video with a mix of merged clips (interview footage) and video clips (b-roll). the video clips imported, but the merged clips did not. i put the timeline cursor to the right point in the after fx timeline, copied the premiere clip from the sequence, pasted it into after fx.
