wtmp convert native mode to text format

Chui Kock You_1 — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:12:08 GMT

How HP unix can send the sulog and shutdownlog out to Windows Server for our software to read. Secondly, how can we convert the wtmp and btmp from native mode to text format and send out to Windows Server.

Use the fwtmp command. "man fwtmp"

the last or lastb command reads the wtmp and btmp files. check manpage. so you can redirect the output of last to a file:
last > read_wtmp

Hi:

For transforming either the 'wtmp' or 'btmp' *binary* files to ASCII text ones, do:

# /usr/sbin/acct/fwtmp < /var/adm/wtmp > /tmp/wtmp

JRF showed you how to use fwtmp. You can also process the wtmps files with -X:
/usr/sbin/acct/fwtmp -X < /var/adm/wtmps > /tmp/wtmps

Hi,

Do you had an agent or self written script to send them to our software or have a program to grab them automatically.

Hi,
You can take output like this
last >/tmp/last.out
or
lastb >/tmp/lastb.out
