Any reason "ps -ef" wouldn't work?

Is the actual system date/time correct?

Assuming you haven't been hacked I'd try recreating thouch files ">wtmpx" for example.

DUPE. There is no need to cross-post!

You can do your own homework for starters.

Post the code you've written so far and then ask for help.

ncpr1 $ touch junkfile.$$

ncpr1 $ ls -l junkfile.12415 ...

That thread mentions an AIX specific solution.
