Re: is there a log file for shutdown/restart
Assuming I'm understanding your question correctly, "System" under Event Viewer should allow to you discover when your system started up or shut down. The actual file is generally located somewhere like C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SysEvent.Evt, but you probably won't be able to access it directly since the file is locked during a Windows session.
Typically you'll see something like "Microsoft(R) Windows 2000 (R) Service Pack 4 Uniprocessor Free." (example is from a Win2k system), and this is listed under the Source column as "eventlog".
Under normal circumstances when the system shuts down you will usually see another "eventlog" listed saying "The Event log service was stopped", indicating the system has initiated a shutdown.

Re: is there a log file for shutdown/restart
thanks for reply.
But Is there any loopwhole in your trick.
Event log service may be stopped manually or by any other process other than RESTART Process.
Your Fast Reply in this regard will be highly appriciated
Thanks
