uptime
uptime shows how long the system has been running, along with a few related figures.
uptime [options]
$ uptime
14:32:08 up 6 days, 3:21, load average: 0.18, 0.24, 0.21
The default line packs in three things:
- the current time;
- how long the system has been up;
- the load average — a rough measure of how busy the system has been over the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes.
If you know uptime from other systems you may be expecting a count of logged-in users between the uptime and the load average. Peios does not print one. That count comes from a login database (utmp) that Peios does not keep, so the field is left out rather than always reporting 0 users.
To inspect Peios logon sessions and their processes, use logonse. Logon sessions record authentication events, including service and batch logons; their count is not a count of logged-in users.
