Is there a way to find out when the system was shut down?

Joshua Goi — Thu, 10 Feb 2005 17:55:28 GMT

Hi,

Is there a way to find out when the system was last shut down? Is there a log file that will tell me that? Thanks!

/etc/shutdownlog

Ditto...

/etc/shutdownlog
You can usually also infer shutdown time from the *last* entry in
/var/adm/syslog/OLDsyslog.log
...but not always because the possibility exists that the syslogd daemon *could* have hung.

Rgds,
Jeff

The command "last reboot" will show when the
machine was rebooted. Perhaps that will help?

Hi,

also check the last entry of /var/adm/syslog/OLDsyslog.log

This file is renamed from /var/adm/syslog.log after every reboot.

Joshua,
"uptime" will tell you how long the machine has been running since last reboot.

In addition to all the above, look at /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log (and OLDsyslog.log if there is one)
