Operating Systems HP-UX Dmesg with date possible?

Exactly the only date you will get is that of dmesg execution... look at the man pages!

I wonder if you are not confusing with what you see in syslog.log file...

@Corona688 I don't know much about it, its looks like dmesg output is in nanoseconds from this article https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com...tionid=sk92677, I didn't go much into it since my system supports -T option.

Good point. Right now that's a mystery. If the OP could post some output, that would be nice. If it doesn't have timestamps already, we can't really add them.

Yes, thats true.

Now there are no new messages shown. Here's an example.
Code:
# dmesg
0/0/0/10/0/0/1.0x5006016930201d6b.0x400d000000000000 eslpt
0/0/0/10/0/0/0.0x5006016930201d6b.0x400e000000000000 eslpt
0/0/0/10/0/0/1.0x5006016930201d6b.0x400e000000000000 eslpt
0/0/0/10/0/0/0.0x5006016930201d6b.0x4014000000000000 eslpt
0/0/0/10/0/0/1.0x5006016930201d6b.0x4014000000000000 eslpt
0/0/0/10/0/0/0.1.3.255.0 fcd_vbus
0/0/0/10/0/0/0.1.3.253.0.0 tgt
0/0/0/10/0/0/1.2.3.255.0 fcd_vbus
0/0/0/10/0/0/0.1.3.253.0.0.0 sctl
0/0/0/10/0/0/1.2.3.253.0.0 tgt
0/0/0/10/0/0/1.2.3.253.0.0.0 sctl
0/0/0/10/0/0/0.1.3.0.0 fcd_vbus
0/0/0/10/0/0/0.1.3.0.0.0 tgt
0/0/0/10/0/0/0.1.3.0.0.0.1 sdisk
0/0/0/10/0/0/1.2.3.0.0 fcd_vbus
0/0/0/10/0/0/1.2.3.0.0.0 tgt
0/0/0/10/0/0/1.2.3.0.0.0.1 sdisk
0/0/0/10/0/0/0.1.3.0.0.0.2 sdisk

There's no need to have a date here but sometimes we have problems after one or two weeks so it would be very helpful to have a date in this situation.

a thought - why not clear the messages everyday after storing it into a log file with current date? a cron should do.

I just noticed the logs are already rotated. Not sure if your system does it. Check these files
Code:
root@maximus:/tmp# ls -lrt /var/log/dmes*
-rw-r----- 1 root adm     28 Jan  8 09:39 /var/log/dmesg.4.gz
-rw-r----- 1 root adm  13463 Feb 17 00:53 /var/log/dmesg.3.gz
-rw-r----- 1 root adm  13376 Feb 17 19:41 /var/log/dmesg.2.gz
-rw-r----- 1 root adm  13544 Feb 19 19:57 /var/log/dmesg.1.gz
-rw-r----- 1 root adm  49431 Feb 23 12:36 /var/log/dmesg.0
-rw-r----- 1 root adm  49773 Mar  2 16:27 /var/log/dmesg

On a second thought I guess these are created either when the system boots up or shuts down.

Script log_dmesg
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "<< Log for $(date) >>" >> /var/log/mydmesg.log
dmesg >> /var/log/mydmesg.log
dmesg -C

Cron entry
Code:
0 0 * * * /path/to/your/script/log_dmesg

and may be include some log rotation logic if needed.
