Log of /etc/shutdowns

[Ed Hon]

Is there a history log of when /etc/shutdowns occurred?

[Clemens van Everdingen]

HI,

Yes, in /etc/shutdown.log file !

C.

[Charles McCary]

in addition... who -b will tell you when the LAST shutdown occured.

tx,

There is a /etc/shutdownlog
that shows if it was a reboot, shutdown or HALT and by whom... is that what you are looking for?

[hpuxrox]

/etc/shutdown is the log???

Or you can use

last | grep reboot

who -b

Or look at the timestamp on /etc/rc.log

It's /etc/shutdownlog

/etc/shutdown is a link to /usr/sbin/shutdown

ls -l /etc/shutdown

lrwxr-xr-t 1 root sys 18 Jan 18 16:40 /etc/shutdown -> /usr/
sbin/shutdown

HTH

Hi Ed


Unless there was a abrupt shutdown where in the OS was not able to function like failure of vg00 , all the shutdown logs ie the time and date will be under /etc/shutdownlog .
