The flat file /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log is not suitable for storing every event which can happen on a HP-UX 11.11 system (I assume that is what you mean by 11i) ... or any unix system for that matter.

There are separate detailed but compact databases maintained by the Enviromental Mangement System (EMS) to record all hardware events including the trivia such as correctible memory errors and routine changes of exchangeable media. Any serious hardware errors are also recorded in syslog.log and each message includes the EMS command to get the detail of the error.

I feel that you are presenting us with your non-viable solution to your problem, rather than presenting the problem itself.

I still suggest that you approach HP in your own language with your requirement. They may try to sell you HP Vantagepoint (aka Openview) and some consultancy.

fasthalt(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       fasthalt(8)

NAME

       fasthalt - Halts the system

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/fasthalt [-lnq]

DESCRIPTION

       The  fasthalt command halts the system and flags a subsequent reboot to skip the execution of fsck.  The program creates the fastboot file,
       then invokes the halt program.  The system start-up script contains instructions to look for the fastboot file.	 If  present,  the  script
       removes the file and skips the invocation of the fsck command.

       If  the command is invoked without the -l, -n, or -q flag, the halt program logs the shutdown using the syslogd command and places a record
       of the shutdown in the login accounting file, /var/adm/wtmp.  Using the -q and the -n flags imply the -l flag.

       You must have root privileges to use this command.

FLAGS

       Does not log the halt using syslog.  Prevents the sync before stopping, and does not log the halt using syslog.	Causes a quick halt,  does
       not log the halt using syslog, and makes no attempt to kill all processes.
