'last reboot' seems to be broken at the moment, at least on stable/9: lucid-nonsense:~:% uname -a FreeBSD lucid-nonsense.infracaninophile.co.uk 9.0-STABLE FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE #15 r236465: Sat Jun 2 23:14:59 BST 2012 [email protected]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LUCID-NONSENSE amd64 I rebooted a few days ago: lucid-nonsense:~:% uptime 7:14AM up 3 days, 8:18, 1 user, load averages: 0.03, 0.01, 0.01 And the utx.log file was last rotated over a week ago: lucid-nonsense:~:% ls -la /var/log/utx* -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 394 Jun 7 17:51 /var/log/utx.lastlogin -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 16841 Jun 8 07:06 /var/log/utx.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 24878 May 31 22:41 /var/log/utx.log.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 13741 Apr 30 08:50 /var/log/utx.log.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 27886 Mar 31 22:52 /var/log/utx.log.2 but last(1) isn't coming up with the goods: lucid-nonsense:~:% last reboot wtmp begins Fri Jun 1 06:14:46 BST 2012 (nor does it work if I tell last to use the older utx.log files) Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: [email protected] Kent, CT11 9PW
