Check System Uptime?

[trenzterra]

How do I check my system uptime on both Windows and Redhat?

[CareBear]

You didn't say which Windows :confused5

If you want something easy, try:

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
For Each objOS in colOperatingSystems
dtmBootup = objOS.LastBootUpTime
dtmLastBootupTime = WMIDateStringToDate(dtmBootup)
dtmSystemUptime = DateDiff("s", dtmLastBootUpTime, Now)
Wscript.Echo "Uptime: " & (int)(dtmSystemUptime / 86400) & " day(s) " & _
(int)((dtmSystemUptime Mod 86400) / 3600) & " hour(s) " & _
(int)((dtmSystemUptime Mod 3600) / 60) & " minute(s) " &_
(int)(dtmSystemUptime Mod 60) & " second(s)"
Next

Function WMIDateStringToDate(dtmBootup)
WMIDateStringToDate = CDate(Mid(dtmBootup, 5, 2) & "/" & _
Mid(dtmBootup, 7, 2) & "/" & Left(dtmBootup, 4) _
& " " & Mid (dtmBootup, 9, 2) & ":" & _
Mid(dtmBootup, 11, 2) & ":" & Mid(dtmBootup, _
13, 2))
End FunctionSave it as uptime.vbs and just doubleclick :)

If you need something more advanced you can try: http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/management/uptime/default.asp
It will show you something like:

Current OS: Microsoft Windows XP, Service Pack 1, Uniprocessor Free.
Time Zone: Romance Standard Time

in RH9 just open the command prompt (telnet, ssh, the console) and type "uptime"


[admin admin]$ uptime
8:22am up 398 days, 22:29, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
