Check the time that ppp0 has been activated?

Is there any command to check the time that ppp0 has been activated? Or can I get the information in any file of /proc system?

thanks.

Shouldn't /var/log/messages tell you that?

Either that, or run the command "dmesg". There should definately be some information in one of those two places.

This will give the start time:
$ ps aux|grep `cat /var/run/ppp0.pid ` | awk '{ print $9}'

If in C, I think could use the process time.
