Time since reboot

[Jacob Hurley]

Yes, and don't forget 

# last

(which will show you all last logins/reboots in a list/date format) so
you can also:

# last shelluser

or

# last reboot

-- if I remember correctly, this command can vary slightly by OS but
works good on SuSE..

btw:  last uses a binary /var/log/wtmp (I believe) and there is also the
command

# lastb

which is supposed to show you failed logins via /var/log/btmp  <-- but I
have never got this to work correctly, any ideas ?

There are a bunch of ways to get your uptime.  Along with the 'uptime'
command you can also use 'w', 'top', and 'cat /proc/uptime' (the first
number is your uptime in seconds)

Depending on your circumstances you might also be able to ask Netcraft:

Nice uptime, Mike.
