Hello,

You can use commands like,

# /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest
and tools like http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/sysinfo-3.3.1/

Also, Do a search with ITRC, you will get lot of threads, like this one.

As to last fail date and time it could be tricky since there are different kinds of failures in HPUX. Like,for example,one may see "panic" string in /etc/shutdownlog on certain event but may not see it as well since its not allways get there :)

To be simplistic - forget about last fail date and time, go for uptime. Anyway,clean reboots,halts and hang/panic events would be often seen in /etc/shutdownlog.

Now,what do you mean by "monitor the unix server"? What kind of monitoring?

Hardware events can be monitored by some methods,like Online Diagnostics for example (EMS) which capable to send e-mails on critical events.Or Webes tool.

Software events...well sky is the limit here.

So prepare a list of what you'd like to monitor first.

Hi Venkat:

Why not query?

1. uptime
2. who -b
3. /etc/shutdownlog

The three give you the basic information of ups-and-downs.

Hi,

You can use "remsh" to get these values. Just you use the commands given JRF.
