Re: Unix Log
You'll find most of the logs underneath
/var/adm/syslog
THE system log is :
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Tom

Re: Unix Log
For startup logs, visit /etc/rc.log.

Re: Unix Log
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log is controlled by /usr/sbin/syslogd. You will find some installations that divert messages elsewhere. It isn't a bad idea to look at /etc/syslog.conf to see if logging is done elsewhere.
Also many sites have the following crontab entry:
# log kernel diagnostic messages every 10 minutes
05,15,25,35,45,55 * * * * /usr/sbin/dmesg - >>/var/adm/messages
Which collects system diagnostic messages
man dmesg
man syslogd
will give you more info

Re: Unix Log
and the previous log prior to the last reboot is located: /var/adm/syslog/OLDsysylog.log.
In addition, a list of other log files can be found in SAM:
SAM > Routine Tasks > System Log Files

Re: Unix Log
In saying that, it does not have to be. It is actually defined from your /etc/syslog.conf file, example below.
The habit of adding the 'dmesg' (system diagnotic messages) regularly to your standard log is a good one.
# more /etc/syslogd.conf
/etc/syslogd.conf: No such file or directory
# more /etc/syslog.conf
# @(#)B.11.11_LR
#
# syslogd configuration file.
#
# See syslogd(1M) for information about the format of this file.
#
mail.debug /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
*.info;mail.none /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
*.alert /dev/console
*.alert root
*.emerg *
See the man pages for 'dmesg' and 'syslog' and 'syslogd'
There are also various other log files on your system for specific items.

Re: Unix Log
You will find the system logs under :
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
/var/adm/shutdown.log
/var/adm/su.log
/var/adm/rc.log
You can view other messages during the startup of the server by command "dmesg"

Re: Unix Log
I always check syslog.log & rc.log after server reboot, and daily monitor syslog.log and related application logfiles, of course you must configure the syslog to capture the activities you concerned.
