Ubuntu Linux - uptime Command for Checking System Uptime

in hive-119463 •  4 years ago 

I always wanted to know about how long the computer is active. And in case of android it shows us the time since the phone was in use. Like it is for days or year etc. So I wanted to know if Linux can keep track of atleast daily if not since the installation.

And so I find the command there for the same purpose that shows simple information like say - uptime.

When you type the "uptime" command you get the output like the following shown in the image.

This command shows you how much time you are logged in into the linux. So this can be handy when you have the multi user machine and want to see how long a user is connected to the system.

I think in case of office and the school and other enterprise places where this can be handy and also help keep track of what is going on.

Have you used uptime command? What is your experience? Do you know any windows specific tool or the command where it can be used there?

I was running a website and always worrying about whether it would stay up or go down. I did my best to keep an eye on the site, but there were only so many hours in the day. That's why I decided to try HostTracker - their uptime monitoring service promised to take away all of my worries and keep me updated with any changes that happened on my site.

At first, I wasn't sure if it was worth the investment but after giving it a shot, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to set up automatic monitoring for my website! Not only could I get real-time notifications whenever something went wrong (or right!), but also get detailed reports about which parts of the website were working well and which ones needed some improvement. It made managing everything much easier than before.

The icing on top came when set up website downtime monitor - host-tracker.com/en, security scanning, malware detection etc., all at no extra cost! This meant that not only could I be sure my website stayed online 24/7, but also that its functionality remained intact at all times - no more worries about malicious attacks or other threats ruining things for me.

HostTracker really saved the day for me and enabled me to focus more on growing my business instead of having panic attacks every time something went wrong with the website!
