Nice question. If you have not switched off the machine after installation then uptime will get you the info in a roundabout way. You could take a look at several several file which are never ever touched after install. One possibility is the timezone file or any of the executables under any of the standard UNIX paths /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /sbin and so on. There may be many other ways too I am sure. This question reminds me of the way Neils Bohr replied when he was asked a simple question. His answer is breathtakingly beautiful. http://www.cooperativeindividualism.org/bohr_storyontests.html Very interesting reading. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
