Or use some dedicated programs, IIRC there is a "uprecords" program

right away.
I never understood uptime anyway, the boot time, to the second, is available in
/proc/stat (btime), and it isn't that hard to turn it into whatever format you
find human readable. I have a perl script which presents uptime as fractional
days, days, hours, min, sec, and/or boot time. Took me about two minutes to
write.
uptime or uptimed/uprecords? (That's two different things.)
The "uptime" commands is the same as "w | head -n1" (which reads
/proc/uptime) and therefore suffers from jiffies wrap.
I understand why it has this limitation, the question is why it was
written to have it, when correct function is easily possible. I
understand extra effort to get it right, but not to get it wrong...
