Operating Systems Solaris uptime command not showing how long the system has been up Post 302493347 by rbatte1 on Wednesday 2nd of February 2011 12:17:53 PM

I'm not sure you can simply overwrite /var/adm/utmpx in this way. I had an odd problems with /etc/security/failedlogin (on AIX) a while back and had to recreate the file as follows:-
Code:
fwtmp -ic </dev/null >/etc/security/failedlogin

Unfortunately, this resets everything to blank.



The other way is to look at process zero or process one. They start with the operating system, indeed if you kill them, everything on the machine goes very quiet and the phone rings..... as I found out one day.
