Apparently there was a power outage in my area of San Diego this morning sometime between 8:56 AM (the last time that gaim (multi-userID chat program) logged a sign on or sign off) and 11:25 AM (when I got out of bed).
I'm wondering why FreeBSD (and in general, all Unix flavors), don't do this: * Every minute, on the minute, "touch /var/log/system/log.`date +%m%d%y`" That way, whether a user is logged in or not, and a system gets rebooted or shutdown (hard), the sysadmin can supplement /var/log/wtmp with accurate information and thus reconstruct what the uptime would have been for that "power-on session." Can someone comment on what to use for the "at" command command-line, and whether I'd put this in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/SOMETHING.sh or where? I think this is an interesting omission from Unixes in general.
