1/22    From "last" on a linux box:

        reboot   system boot  2.4.20-24.9      Wed Jan 21 04:18         (1+11:23)

        Does the "system" where the tty(e.g. pts/1) usualy is mean that this was
        a cntrl-alt-delete job or is there other possibilites?
        \_ it's "system boot", not "system" and "boot". you get the same message
           if you just run 'reboot'.
           \_ ok, so i'd get this message regardless of the way the system was
              rebooted (short of pulling the plug)?  There was noone on the box
              at the time, so that is why I am assuming a cntrl-alt-delete.
