What sort of output are you looking for? If it's hardware errors, have a look at /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log

One way to get the output of dmesg by date would be to have a scheduled job that runs dmesg each day and saves the output for a dated file. You can then use the previous ones to eliminate duplicate records, something like:-

Code:

thislog=/var/mydmesg/`date +%Y%m%d`

dmesg > $thislog

grep -vf accumulated $thislog > $thislog.temp
mv $thislog.temp $thislog

cat accumulated $thislog > accumulated.temp
mv accumulated.temp accumulated

From this, you should get a file each day if you schedule it daily. I suppose you could schedule it weekly or monthly instead and get a weekely/monthly file if you wish. If you want to get fractions of a day, you just need to add the time into the definition of $thislog

I've not tested this, and it depends what you expect to get.

It might be worth archiving the accumulated file each boot.

I hope that this helps,

	      Set longitude of observer.

       -td <UT - LT>

EXAMPLES

       wmSun -lon 106.3 -lat 35.9

       wmSun -lat 19.58 -lon 155.92 -td 10
