Execute a shell script prior to full login

Thanks, I've never used the aureport command before. With some help from a coworker this is what I ended up with: startday=$( aureport -au | tail -2 | head -1 | awk '{print $2}' ) starttime=$( aureport -au | tail -2 | head -1 | awk '{print $3}' ) failcount=$(aureport -au --start $startday $starttime | grep $USER | grep no | wc -l) echo "Failed login attempts since your last successful login: ${failcount}"
