How does Shutdown log works

kdclster — Mon, 27 Jan 2014 06:32:01 GMT

Hi,

My /etc/shutdownlog is not getting updated on one of my server. I have tried restarting the syslogd .. but no luck.

Can someone help me to understand how does shutdownlog gets update & how to fix that.

Thanks

When was the last entry?

Every time your execute shutdown(1m) it should be updated.

# touch /etc/shutdownlog

# chmod 644 /etc/shutdownlog

Then wait until a programmed shutdown or reboot occours and watch if it worked...
