Hi gera_sachin125,
Before running any commands always check your man pages for backround & detailed information;
example :
<snip start>
bash-2.05$ man more
Reformatting page. Please Wait... done
User Commands more(1)
NAME
more, page - browse or page through a text file
<snip end>
HELP WITH YOUR INVESTIGATIONS
This may help you along, your log file for system messages are located in /var/adm;
as root user or with root permission, do;
root@Hostname# more /var/adm/messages
(This will provide you with system information of reboots and other activites which have taken place on the host system)
root@hostname# tail -50 /var/adm/sulogs
(This will provide you with the last 50 lines of the entries in /var/adm/sulog, all users who have logged in as root, or logged in as a standard user & has become root)
I hope this is of help
