This is a case of where knowing what you are really trying to do would be useful sorry :) I came across this interesting question in Linux forum , I thought about digging "/var/log/messages" and grep "Freeing initrd memory" or some unique message might give the required answer. I posted the question here, because I wanted the professional answer :) Thanks guyz, today I learned by last command.But how reliable "last reboot" is ? I quickly checked the man page it said /var/log/wtmp used by last command.- what will happen if the log file modified/erased or archived. -- Cheers, Lakshmipathi.G On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 10:34 PM, Bruno Wolff III <bruno@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 12:41:38 +0530, > lakshmi pathi <lakshmipathi.g@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Hi, >> If I need to know ,how many times the system has been rebooted , Shall > > This is a case of where knowing what you are really trying to do would > be useful.
