>> system shutdown on avery day throught crontab entry

Is it necessary ?

Is there any permission issue ? What's your OS version ?

They seem normal in the first place.
Can you show your full shutdown command syntax you used in crontab ?

# crontab -l

(for both server)

so it does not show in the first place;
one of the scripts there must be providing "shutdown" command inside so it is better to check scripts (probably restart_sfm script) on both server they are match ? ,
and actually in HP-UX as far as I know there is no option (at least for 11iv1 and 11iv2) to enable/disable the shutdown logs to write under /etc/shutdownlog .

So , I recommend you to check your system logs if there is any anomaly in system logs :

syslog /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
mail /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
cron /var/adm/cron/log

I would guess that your system is being cycled by the os_restart.sh shown in the crontabs. Check this script to see what it is actually doing. I'm thinking that it may be doing a "reboot" rather than a "shutdown", but in any case we need to see the actual shutdown command that is being issued.

Hmmmm, I was just doing some reading in the "reboot (1m)" man page and it says /etc/shutdownlog (if it exists) should still get updated so that's not the cause. I guess we need to see the actual command that is being issued.

Both servers crotab entry's are same, but y one has created a shutdown logs and one not.

apps = created a shutdownlogs
DB = has not created shutdown logs

What does "cat /os_restrt.sh" show us?

Dennis Handly — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 14:58:36 GMT

Anything different between the two servers in /var/adm/cron/log for that crontab entry that has the shutdown(1m)?

Do you have any NFS cross mounts? This may cause problems if shutting down both at the same time.

Any differences in /etc/rc.log.old between the two?

I just tried to make sure that reboot and if shutdown logs go to /etc/shutdownlog in my trial server here, yes it updates the shutdoen logs. The server I used HP-UX 11iv1 by the way ,can you tell me Muhammad what is your own server version:

# uname -a

He said 11.23.

You are using specific script to shutdown/restart. i.e. /os_restrt.sh

Can we see this ?

Please post cat /os_restrt.sh
