All reboot messages go to /var/log/messages. The message file is archived, so just go the /var/log directory and look at your message files and look for msgs before the boot msgs of that date. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of John DeStefano Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 10:17 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: reboot record information I was interested to find from a system mail this morning that my system had been rebooted three days ago. As far as I was aware, the last reboot was about two months ago. The following lines in /var/log/messages give me a clue that the reboot happened after "Feb 10 02:51:52": Feb 10 02:51:52 zurg inetd[608]: netbios-ns/udp: bind: Address already in use [note: the "netbios-ns/udp" line is a system message that I get every 10 minutes... haven't been able to figure that one out either] Feb 10 03:02:37 zurg syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel Feb 10 03:02:37 zurg kernel: Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.... But there's no sign of what happened to cause the reboot, or how it was done. Is there another log file that would store this information? I am mostly concerned because I'm fairly certain this reboot was not performed at the console: it was either a system reaction to a problem, or somebody poking around where they shouldn't be...
