Assignment 1 - Usage Report
Weight: 15% of the overall grade
Due Date: Ask your professor for exact date
Late Penalty: 10% per school day, and note that this assignment must be completed satisfactorily in order to pass the course even if you get zero mark for this assignment.
Overview
Most system administrators would like to know the utilization of their systems by their users. On a Linux system, each user's login records are normally stored in the binary file /var/log/wtmp. The login record in this binary file can not be viewed or edited directly using normal Linux text commands like 'less', 'cat', etc. The 'last' command is often used to display the login records stored in this file in a human readable form. Please check the man page of the 'last' command for available options. The following listing is a sample output of the 'last' command with the '-F' flag on:
$ last -F avhuo pts/9 10.43.222.35 Tue Feb 13 16:53:42 2018 - Tue Feb 13 16:57:02 2018 (00:03) clee18 pts/6 10.40.43.94 Tue Feb 13 16:51:47 2018 - Tue Feb 13 16:56:13 2018 (00:04) clee18 pts/6 10.40.43.94 Tue Feb 13 16:50:20 2018 - Tue Feb 13 16:51:27 2018 (00:01) shana pts/2 toroon4512w-lp13 Tue Feb 13 16:47:48 2018 - Tue Feb 13 16:58:31 2018 (00:10) hfang171 pts/4 24.114.50.50 Tue Feb 13 16:31:38 2018 - Tue Feb 13 17:48:39 2018 (01:17) bigia pts/8 10.247.6.126 Tue Feb 13 16:28:43 2018 - Tue Feb 13 17:28:31 2018 (00:59) ckim16 pts/2 10.40.91.236 Tue Feb 13 16:22:36 2018 - Tue Feb 13 16:45:10 2018 (00:22) ddchan pts/2 10.43.115.162 Tue Feb 13 16:19:29 2018 - Tue Feb 13 16:22:00 2018 (00:02) tsliu2 pts/4 10.40.105.130 Tue Feb 13 16:17:21 2018 - Tue Feb 13 16:30:10 2018 (00:12) shana pts/13 10.40.91.247 Tue Feb 13 16:07:52 2018 - Tue Feb 13 16:45:52 2018 (00:38) tchiu2 pts/11 10.40.105.130 Tue Feb 13 16:07:43 2018 - Tue Feb 13 16:17:12 2018 (00:09) ...
In this assignment, your task is to create a python program to produce daily, weekly, and monthly usage reports by user or by remote host based on the information obtained from the 'last' command or given files which contain similar information as the 'last' command.
Instructions
Program Name and valid command line arguments
Name your Python3 program as ur.py. The program should accept one or more "file name" as its command line parameters. Your ur.py script should produce the following usage when run with the --help option:
[rchan@centos7 a1]$ python3 ./ur.py -h
usage: ur.py [-h] [-l {user,host}] [-r RHOST] [-t {daily,weekly,monthly}]
[-u USER] [-v]
F [F ...]
Usage Report based on the last command
positional arguments:
F list of files to be processed
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-l {user,host}, --list {user,host}
generate user name or remote host IP from the given
files
-r RHOST, --rhost RHOST
usage report for the given remote host IP
-t {daily,weekly,monthly}, --type {daily,weekly,monthly}
type of report: daily, weekly, and monthly
-u USER, --user USER usage report for the given user name
-v, --verbose tune on output verbosity

<pre>
Replace the last line with your own full name
If one of the file name given is "last", your python program should get the login records from the 'last' command with the appropriate flags.
If there is one file name provided at the command line, read the login records from the contents of the given file. The format of each line in the file should be the same as the output of 'last -Fiw'.
If there is more than one file name provided, merges all the files together with the first one at the top and the last one at the bottom. Read and process the file contents in that order in your program.
=== Header ===
All your Python codes for this program must be placed in a <font color='red'><b><u>single source file</u></b></font>. Please include the following declaration by <b><u>you</u></b> as comment in your Python source code file (replace "Student Name" with your own name):
<source>OPS435 Assignment 1 - Winter 2018
Program: usage_report.py
Author: "Student Name"
The python code in this file (usage_report.py) is original work written by
"Student Name". No code in this file is copied from any other source
including any person, textbook, or on-line resource. I have not shared
this python program with anyone or anything except for submission for grading.

Program Development and Testing
You should create python functions to handle the following sub-tasks:
- displays main menu, sub-menu and get user's response via the keyboard
- gets login records from the output of "last" command and filters out unwanted records
- reads login records from files and filters out unwanted records
- generate daily usage reports by user or by remote host
- generate weekly usage reports by user or by remote host
- generate monthly usage reports by user or by remote host
To help you with this assignment, here is a template you can use as a starting point in developing your Python Usage Report program.
Once you have finished coding a function, you should start a Python3 interactive shell, import your functions and manually call the function you want to test.
Once you have all the individual function tested and that each is working properly, perform the final test with test data provided by your professor and verify that your program produces the correct results before submitting your python program on Blackboard.
