Kernel change

Jeffrey F. Goldsmith — Fri, 02 May 2008 19:39:02 GMT

Some time in November 2007 someone made a change to my system kernel (rp3440-4 w/HP-UX 11.23) that fixed a problem we were having with the console program. Then last month after we rebooted the server the problem came back. Is there a way to check what change had been made to the kernel back in 2007? I checked a couple logs but cant seem to find the information I need.

Thanks for the help.

Do you get any history from kclog command ?

Yes, that would be helpful. How does it work?

just type in kclog e.g kclog 10

should give you the history of the last 10 kernel changes and what they were.

man kclog for more details

Hi:

> Yes, that would be helpful. How does it work?

Like any HP-UX command, the principal answer is in the manpages --- your first resource:

# man kclog
