I shutdown around 4 - 5 hours ago which would be around 14:00 to 15:00 time range. But as you can see there's no entry for it. Why? and how can i find when i last shutdown?

Code:

last
lyle   pts/1        :0.0             Tue Jul  6 19:18   still logged in   
lyle   :0                            Tue Jul  6 19:15   still logged in   
lyle   tty7         :0               Tue Jul  6 19:15   still logged in   
root     pts/1        :0.0             Tue Jul  6 19:11 - 19:14  (00:03)    
root     :0           console          Tue Jul  6 19:10 - 19:15  (00:04)    
root     :0                            Tue Jul  6 19:10 - 19:10  (00:00)    
root     tty7         :0               Tue Jul  6 19:10 - 19:15  (00:04)

Is your system set to the right time zone?

And one reason why events may not be written to wtmp is
that the partition is full ... what's your free disk
space? Both are of course stabs in the dark :}
