Solaris shutdown and boot history
Hello.
I'm trying to get a Solaris (SunOS 5.10) shutdown and boot history. Unfortunately the /var/adm/wtmpx file does not cover the period I want to trace. It's been reset. Therefore the command, "last" (or "last reboot") does not reach back far enough.
Additionally the /var/adm/messages* files do not show any reboot information and I know the system was rebooted several times over the weekend.
Is there anywhere else I can grep to find this history? Right how all I have is "who -b" for the last reboot timestamp. This is a Solaris 10 server running Oracle 11g, so the only chink of light I can see, is examining the Oracle server alert logs.
Thanks.

Looking to automate some commands to run at boot and poweroff in a startup/shutdown script.
How do I place it on the system so that it will be run automatically?
I don't want to use cron, not quite specific enough, random times when I may boot or shutdown.

utmpx(4) File Formats utmpx(4)
NAME
utmpx, wtmpx - utmpx and wtmpx database entry formats
SYNOPSIS
#include <utmpx.h>
/var/adm/utmpx
/var/adm/wtmpx
DESCRIPTION
The utmpx and wtmpx files are extended database files that have superseded the obsolete utmp and wtmp database files.
The utmpx database contains user access and accounting information for commands such as who(1), write(1), and login(1). The wtmpx database
contains the history of user access and accounting information for the utmpx database.
USAGE
Applications should not access these databases directly, but should use the functions described on the getutxent(3C) manual page to inter-
act with the utmpx and wtmpx databases to ensure that they are maintained consistently.
FILES
/var/adm/utmpx user access and adminstration information
/var/adm/wtmpx history of user access and adminstrative information
SEE ALSO
getutxent(3C), wait(3C)wait.h(3HEAD)
