Hi Rajeev,

You can refer to /etc/rc.log. It has startup logs for all system services. Or else, you can just run "uptime" command & it will tell the you time for which the server has been up & running.

Vihang.

rc.log under /etc is the best way to see all details in a single place...

"last reboot" also will show the startup times.

You can check /etc/rc.log

Shalom,

You can also do this:

uptime

That will tell you how long its been running. The date stamps on the files listed by others will be close to that.

You can also watch things happen interactively on the console. rp3440 systems have a network console built in. It merely needs to be configured with an IP address.

Hi,

could you please explain what you mean by "server startup time". A good clear explanation will make it easier for us to provide you with a good answer.

You will see when the server was doing a shutdown in the shutdown_log, but there is no similar startup log.

The rc.log and syslog will tell you about last boot, the OLDsyslog about the previous boot - but that's it.

If you need that information for any whatever reason, you may consider to write your own script and run it at boot.

"last reboot" gives you all the times, unless you scratched /var/adm/wtmps.

>Torsten: but there is no similar startup log.

It's called /var/adm/wtmps.

You are right Dennis. I forgot about that ... never needed this special info so far.

It's pretty obvious if you have one going back 3+ years. :-)
(And you get forum questions on how to figure out the year.)
