If you firmly know about last known shutdown of sytem then #uptime may help you to find out if there is any reboot took place in between your last known time to till.

Hi Reshma,

From the man last man page.

The pseudo-user reboot logs each time the system reboots. Thus, last reboot is a useful command for evaluating the relative time between system reboots.

Reshma,

Check the /etc/rc.log for the timestamp of the system restart.

Have you tried:

tail /var/adm/syslog/OLDsyslog.log ?

It may just have stayed up long enough to record something along the lines of "Loss of power". I can't remember the exact wording, but I have seen it once.

Take a look at the /var/adm/shutdowlog this may give a clue.

Hi,

The system got rebooted yesterday and the shutdownlog timestamp is one month old.

Please let me know if anyone has hard booted the server where the entry is logged.

Greetings,

And dont laugh...
I just happen to find a box in the same situation, I woulnd have noticed if it were not for open connections I had...

secuciv:/home/vbe $ uptime
1:38pm up 19:34, 12 users, load average: 0.11, 0.32, 0.34
[4] + Done xstm&
secuciv:/home/vbe $ ll /var/adm/syslog/Syslog.log.071122
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23164 Nov 22 16:00 /var/adm/syslog/Syslog.log.07112
2
secuciv:/home/vbe $ ll /etc/shutdownlog
-rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 1180 Nov 14 19:11 /etc/shutdownlog
secuciv:/home/vbe $ ll /etc/*rc.l*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44481 Nov 23 10:46 /etc/rc.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47762 Nov 22 18:04 /etc/rc.log.old
secuciv:/home/vbe $

In my opinion I checked all users and found only myself with a open vi at 18:00
This box is in a distant site in a office althought there is a UPS in that room I believe its more like a power disruption...

if /etc/shutdownlog does not show who has rebooted the server it is propely chrached
there can be some reasons:
cluster is not getting anny proces time
power dip/peek
somebody hitting the switch.
etc.
