I have an assignment where I have to write a bash script called "logincount" using the command "last" that takes a list of usernames as its command line arguments and displays on the screen, for each user name, a message in the form of:
Number of times that <username> logged into this machine is <N>


where (N) is to be replaced by the number of records that the last command output that match (username) exactly.
So for example if you enter "logincount UserX" then the output should be
Number of times UserX logged into this machine is 3.
I do not want it done for me or someone to give me the script write because I want to learn but I would appreciate any advice or hints or help because I am very lost right now, even though it is a simple script.
