Re: [PLUG] trouble logs 101
i am looking for a shutdown and/or reboot
history.
cd /var/log
cat message*.* | grep <magic
word>
does that look ok?
what <magic word> will appear
to indicate startup, boot, reboot
ie the server has locked, i have to
reboot.
thanks in advance,
ron

Re: [PLUG] trouble logs 101
I'd start with /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog.
If you're running sar, or any other kind of data colleciton
tools, I'd examine those to determine what the machine
looked like as it lead up to the freeze.
Generally /var/log/messages will help though.
Good luck!
