Finding how the machine was rebooted

2004-04-09 Thread Hari Bhaskaran
Hi,

I am trying to trouble shoot a problem where one of the machines
got rebooted. I can see last shows a shutdown was done. How
do I know if it was a Cntrl-Alt-Del done from the console or
if it was a shutdown command executed via a ssh/remote login?
I would also like to know if it was some panic/bug etc also.

Also I have a dmesg.today that is couple of days older than
/var/run/dmesg.boot. How is that possible? Doesn't dmesg.today
mean the the dmesg of the last (current) boot?

BTW, /var/ is running on a vinum-ed partition (if that would 
help) 

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

ssh (third column is the remote host):
itetcu   ttyp0it.buh   Tue Apr  6 09:06 - 18:23 (3+09:17)
reboot   ~ Tue Apr  6 08:56
shutdown ~ Tue Apr  6 08:54
itetcu   ttyp2it.buh   Tue Apr  6 08:51 - shutdown (00:02)

console:
root ttyv1 Fri Apr  9 18:44 - 18:48 (00:04)
reboot   ~ Fri Apr  9 18:44
shutdown ~ Fri Apr  9 18:43
root ttyv1 Fri Apr  9 18:41 - shutdown (00:01)

 I would also like to know if it was some panic/bug etc also.

You wouldn't get the last -shutdown line. You probably would have
something in the logs.
 
 Also I have a dmesg.today that is couple of days older than
 /var/run/dmesg.boot. How is that possible? Doesn't dmesg.today
