I looked on the now site, but could not find what the fields represent?
Doesn't "availtime full" make them reasonably self-explanatory? E.g.

You get more sections if you have support for other protocols. The times are when the outages _end_. Shutdowns by "reboot" or "halt" command count as planned. (The long one for this filer was while it was being shipped to us.) Panics count as unplanned. The powerfail above really was one, when our Uninterruptible Power Supply was, well, interrupted ...
Does anyone have a list of other "missing" commands that you don't get form help or "?"?

It's true that "availtime" appears in "?" output when you are in advanced mode: I should have checked that before posting. But it works even in the default mode (admin). There are other commands like that, e.g. "rdfile".
But there are some commands that don't appear in "?" at any level. They no doubt vary from release to release, and if NetApp don't want to document them, then no-one can make them! But the archives of the toasters mailing list are quite useful for picking up occasional tidbits of this sort.
