Portions of this program are taken from procps version 1.2.7 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==================== What the hell is it? ==================== up displays the uptime of the system accounting for decades, years, weeks, days, hours, and minutes. It can output the uptime in its standard hardcore format or the standard 'uptime' (that program that comes with procps) format for quick comparisons with other systems. ================ How do I run it? ================ Type: up --help for a list of command line arguments. ============================== Why the hell did you write it? ============================== A friend wanted a program to output uptime through years. ============================================== Does it do anything else that's mildly usable? ============================================== Not really....it's really pretty limited. ====================================================== Why can't I compile it on Solaris/HP-UX/AIX/BSD/_____? ====================================================== I don't know. Never tried it on those systems. up relies on the file /proc/uptime to be available. That's how it gets the current uptime. ========================================== Can I modify the source and re-release it? ========================================== Go for it. I don't care. It does what I want and that's fine with me. Just follow the terms of the GPL. -David Cantrell david@burdell.org
