Hi Carmen,

I think you're looking for /var/stm/logs/sys/diaglogd_activity_log.

Thanks,

but I if do one #more , I cannot see it very well... Is there any way to see it ok??

[Pete Randall]

Well, the strings command makes it more readable, but I think you're really supposed to use stm to view it: cstm or xstm. Try running xstm > System > SystemActivityLog.

The log is not kept as an ascii file, you must format and save the file using cstm as follows:

run cstm
cstm>ru
2 (for logtool)
fr (format raw)
select default directory
fl (View formatted log)
q (quit)
SA (Save As) and give it a file name, this file will be ascii viewable)

exit logtool and cstm
--------------------------------
It will look something like the following:

cstm>ru
-- Run Utility --
Select Utility
1 MOutil
2 logtool
Enter selection : 2
