In SCO OSR5, fwtmp can dump the contents of /etc/utmp and /etc/wtmp to
human readable formats, but what about /etc/utmpx and /etc/wtmpx? I've
been looking for a way to get the data from these files, but fwtmp can
parse them cleanly.

Anyone know what to use?

TIA,

It's main job is to clean out wtmp of bad entries, but it can read the x
files and it has options for both human readable output and dry run.
wget it into PATH and chmod 755, then cwtmp -h |less

Brian,

cwtmp almost does what I want. I'm looking for something that can
process all four file types and output in human readable format. It
looks like cwtmp can only process utmp and utmpx if the user wants to
bash the files afterwords, and can't do this and output in human
readable format.

Anyone have a suggestion?

TIA,

Edward Hooper

By defualt, cwtmp doesn't modify the input files.

-r and -R produce human-readable output.

I've just added (hopefully reasonably reliable) utmp/utmpx file type
autodetection.
