HPUX server install date

[Barbara Flynn_1]

Hi all

Is it possible to find out from some files on the server when it was first built? I have been using the /var/adm/shutdownlog as a guide but it is not all that accurate.

Thanks in advance
Barbara

Hi,

swlist -a date

Hi,

the file /var/adm/sw/swinstall.log could also be a hint

The creation date of /lost+found usually tells you when the filesystem was built (provided you havn't recreated it). You can also check lost+found in /usr, /var etc.

Barbara,

You can also look at the file /var/opt/ignite/local/install.log. If the system was installed from an Ignite Server then this file is the log of its installation. Note that the time will probably not be your local time.
