   Want to to see the last time that you or given user logged in, use lastlogin command on your #Linux, or #FreeBSD or #Unix like oses:

   # macos/freebsd
   lastlogin
   lastlogin user

   # Linux
   lastlog
   lastlog -u user

   This will tell you last reboot/shutdown time:
   last -x
   last -x reboot

   The syntax varies between Unix variant so do check man page or read the following

     @postpunky that is true but most enterprise distro has them because of compatibility reasons

     lastlogin, lastlog, & last are curiously not standard in the distro I am using.
