system shutdown and reboot logs

[Rob Leadbeater]

System startup messages etc. can be found in /var/adm/messages on all versions of Tru64 Unix I've used...

Are you using Tru64 ?

Hi,

I am using HP-UX 11

> I am using HP-UX 11

Then you might get better answers sooner in
an appropriate (HP-UX) forum than you will in
this Tru64 forum.

And "11" is not a precise description of your
operating system. The actual output from,
say, "uname -a" would be more helpful.

Thanks for your presious help

You could try "man -k log".
