I have one of my servers that is running Oracle 8.1.5 and for the past two
days the Solaris 7 E450 that it has been running on has been crashing
(system panic).  Each morning when I come in I see that the system is in a
"down" state.  I don't see anything showing this in /var/adm/messages or
/var/log/syslog, but I do see newly created files in /var/crash/unix.1
When I check to see what type of file this "unix.1" is I get this report:
ELF 64 bit executable SPARCV9 version1, UltraSPARC1 Extensions Required,
statically linked, not stripped.

Can anyone tell me what is file is and if it is some sort of crash reporting
file how do I read it?

Thanks

P.S.  When checking for any information on a system crash I usually check,
/var/adm/messages, /var/log/syslog and /var/crash      Should I be checking
anywhere else?

Thanks All!
