daemon restart time

[Khashru]

How can i find out weither a daemon is restared or not. I restarted cron daemon few hours back. Where i can find the log?

[Patrick Wallek · Accepted solution]

# ps -ef |grep cron

will show you whether or not cron is running and what time it started. The cron log is '/var/adm/cron/log'

I found the log. in ps -ef i can only find time but no date.

root 22616 1 0 11:07:23 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/cron

dear khashru,
please go through the following steps
#cd /sbin/init.d
./crond start
then check #ps -ef |grep cron
if the out put is ok then cron demon is atarted

I know it is running. i want to find out the date from ps -ef |grep cron

Hi Khashru,
If ps output shows just the time, that means the process was started within the last 24 hours. If it was longer ago, then you just get the date. 'man ps' will tell you this.
