Anyone know the command to post system uptime to a page?

Would like to post it on my front page. Isn't is like $PHP_Uptime er something? im looking but haven't found anything yet. Oh, except to echo end-users browser/os type

reports the uptime, and makes it an image, you could edit the script

That's pretty nicely done. The only problem is it doesn't extract the number of days properly. The number of days doesn't always start on the 13th character. And it only reads 2 characters meaning you could never have an uptime greater then 99 days. But it shouldn't be too hard to modify that. You could remove the line $uptime = (exec("uptime"));
and replace the $up = line with the following one:

$up = (exec("uptime | sed 's/.*up //' | sed 's/ days.*//'"));

Haven't tried it out but something like that should work.

got it!

<?php
$fp = popen("/usr/bin/uptime", "r");
while($line = fgets($fp, 1024)):
printf("%s<br>\n", $line);
endwhile;
pclose($fp);
?>

works for me! but im interested in others

thanks for the replies

Well since the output of uptime is just one line, and you want to display the whole line anyway. Why don't you change it to:

<?php
$up = exec("/usr/bin/uptime");
printf("%s<br>\n", $up);
?>
