Thanks for the reply...

Btw, I work for a semicon company whose into Automatic Testing Equipments. The machine I'm supporting was first introduced in the 1980s
that's why I'm looking for a very old OS. I tried installing newer versions(OS)
but our checkers/diagnostics/programs used to test our end products wont work. I don't have any copy here with me(installation CDs) that's why I'm such at a loss where to look for help. I'll try your suggestion and will give feedback once update is available. Thanks and God Bless!!!

U might try to search with bitorrent.

But I wonder if there are any copyright legal issues if we were to use unix.com to share and download old softwares.

could be a cronjob running, use crontab -l, you have to check the scripts, normally they have the scripts under /etc/init.d and softlink to /etc/rc2.d /etc/rc3.d

The command who -b will show at wat time the system was booted that will give you a clue and help to narrow down to those cronjob which kickoff around that time so you just check those.

there few commands that can also be used to reboot a system.

init 6
reboot
uadmin 2 1
