Yes: $ uprecords # Uptime | System Boot up ----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- -> 1 113 days, 22:25:35 | Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 Tue Dec 25 14:09:42 2012 ----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- NewRec 113 days, 22:25:34 | since Tue Dec 25 14:09:42 2012 up 113 days, 22:25:35 | since Tue Dec 25 14:09:42 2012 down 0 days, 00:00:00 | since Tue Dec 25 14:09:42 2012 %up 100.000 | since Tue Dec 25 14:09:42 2012 I must have rebooted it on Christmas day. It has definely not been switched on for 113 days. My SSD reports 949 power on hours (=~ 1 month), and I'm fairly sure I fitted it before Christmas.

"Uptime" means "time elapsed since the kernel was started" and suspending or resuming doesn't really change that. It's also a rather old and useless figure so I don't see the point in trying to make it more accurate. For VMs, you could wonder whether context switches on a contended core should be accounted for (and how) Just checked my VPS: 13:40:10 up 401 days, 8:20, 9 users, load average: 0.01, 0.06, 0.08 Although I'm not proud of that, it's high time it was rebooted, most likely. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
