> Is it feasable to add time to the uptime value > through /etc/inittab or /etc/rc*.d entries? > > At arbitrary times after a systems is up? > If not mistaken, I believe uptime gets it's starting time from utmp (utmpx). If so, it's probably not very difficult to play games and improve your yearly bonus for system availablity ;-) I bet there's a perl module to muck with utmp. Look at the source code for uptime and see what it does... Or even easier, write a perl program to "wrap" uptime, and then munge it's output for you benefit... - Christoph - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
