reboot time

[aarce]

Can any one help me to find out the reboot ( last reboot time ) of my server.

I normally used to do "who -b" , or with last |grep reboot.

but who -b is not giving me an output . Also the who command

gives wrong information related to the UP tIME

02:59PM up 13151 days, 6:59, 12 users, load average: 0.69, 0.30, 0.13

Hello aarce.

Perhaps you can try the following:

errpt | more

When you find the message

9DBCFDEE 1230100905 T O errdemon ERROR LOGGING TURNED ON

you know, that error logging was started. As far as I know this one is started normally only at reboot-time.

Now you can check the timestamp 1230100905: 30th of december, 10:09 in the year 2005.

Regards
Ruediger

Hello again!

Of course the start of the init-process is another hint:

AIX001:/#ps -ef | grep init
root 1 0 0 Dec 30 - 0:29 /etc/init


This one is runnning since 30th of december -> the machine was rebooted this day.

Regards
Ruediger

Hi ,thanks a lot for all the answers . All of the below

will show me the reboot time , that is correct. But my query is to know why the "who" or "w" shows the incorrect time .

And Why the "who -b" not showing any output


thanks
