RE: Sun=/var/messages HP-UX=???

dmesg... now, that, I know.
It needs root privs to use. And unless it is run via some automated setup (cron, as you mentioned) to create a public accessible report, we are stuck with syslog.log. At least, on most systems, it is public readable...

Thanks..

hpux 11.0
man dmesg shows the standard setup using /var/adm/messages.

      dmesg looks in a system buffer for recently printed diagnostic
      messages and prints them on the standard output.  The messages are
      those printed by the system when unusual events occur (such as when
      system tables overflow or the system crashes).  If the - argument is
      specified, dmesg computes (incrementally) the new messages since the
      last time it was run and places these on the standard output.  This is
      typically used with cron (see cron(1)) to produce the error log
      /var/adm/messages by running the command:

           /usr/sbin/dmesg - >> /var/adm/messages

      every 10 minutes.

      The arguments core and system allow substitution for the defaults
      /dev/kmem and /stand/vmunix respectively, where core should be a file
      containing the image of the kernel virtual memory saved by the
      savecore(1M) command and system should be the corresponding kernel.
      If the system is booted with a kernel other than /stand/vmunix say
      /stand/vmunix_new, dmesg must be passed this name, the command must
      be,

           /usr/sbin/dmesg [-] /dev/kmem /stand/vmunix_new

 WARNINGS
      The system error message buffer is of small, finite size.  dmesg is
      run only every few minutes, so there is no guarantee that all error
      messages will be logged.

 AUTHOR
      dmesg was developed by the University of California, Berkeley.
