`who -b ` does not produce any information
Has anybody seen this, before. Is there a patch or something which is need to fix this? I run the who -b command and it comes back to the prompt without any results. More detals pasted below:
# who -b
# uptime
12:04pm up 138 days, 19:56, 6 users, load average: 0.19, 0.18, 0.18
# uname -a
HP-UX newhostit B.11.11 U 9000/800 1611884041 unlimited-user license
# ls -lrt /etc/ut*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 660 Oct 3 12:05 /etc/utmp

Re: `who -b ` does not produce any information
If you do not have the last ( latest ) bundle then it should be put on as it may just be the last.
Problem may just go away.
Are you at anything close to current ?
The latest is June '08.
swlist -l bundle|grep GOLDBASE

Re: `who -b ` does not produce any information
Does the last command work ?
How about who -a ?

Re: `who -b ` does not produce any information
Is here a way to find out if my /etc/utmp and /var/adm/wtmp are corrupt?

Re: `who -b ` does not produce any information
Where are you at with a patch bundle rev ?
or better yet.
# what /usr/bin/who
/usr/bin/who:
$Revision: B.11.11_LR
Fri Oct 27 00:32:29 PDT 2000 $
Looks like the who command has not changed in quite awhile. So probably not a patch issue.

Re: `who -b ` does not produce any information
A minor point but I would tend to disagree with your characterization that "11.11 is getting close to desupport". End of support is still 4 years and 2 months away:

Re: `who -b ` does not produce any information
emptying the files will not corrupt them, merely make the previous information unavailable, although if users are logged in at the time, they may get some ugly messages when they log out.

Re: `who -b ` does not produce any information
Right. "last reboot" should also show the last reboot time, if the data is in wtmp.
Are all of the /var/adm/wtmp* files emptied?
Otherwise you can use last with -x and/or -f to select the others.
