How to check when a solaris server got rebooted
In Windows we can check the event viewer for entries 6005,6006,6009 to confirm the system down times, as in when it got down and when it came back up. Is there some similar log files in Solaris/RHEL that I can check the timings and who or what caused the system reboot. I am an absolute newbie. Need your help....

Can we also check which ID or who initiated the reboot or shut down the system?

By default, I could be wrong but I dont think there is something like the HP-UX shutdown.log or errpt in AIX, so I would imagine you would have to do some customisation but are you talking of pure Solaris or X86 OpenSolaris which may have but I have no servers to look at...
