Mksysb log 1

[sendhilk]

where can i check the log files to find out if my mksysb was successfull or not. if i run it from smit i know i can check smit.log to find out the same but where can i check the logs if i run it from command line?

Just type "echo $?" when it is done. Let me attach my "mksysb.sh" script I created. Look at the "log" variable at the end to see what the log filename is.
