NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       uptime - Shows how long a system has been running

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       uptime [-m]

       The  uptime  command displays the current time, the amount
       of time since the system was last started, the  number  of
       users logged into the system, and the load averages.

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Prints the Mach factor instead of the load average.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  display  of  the  uptime  command is identical to the
       heading of a w command display.

       The load average numbers give the number of  jobs  in  the
       run queue for the last 5 seconds, the last 30 seconds, and
       the last 60 seconds. The Mach factor is a variant  of  the
       load average, given for the same intervals; the closer its
       value to 0, the higher the load.
