[php] Uptime in FreeBSD

[sean.ferguson]

im using freebsd4.10-RELEASE running Apache 2 and PHP5.
I want something so i can see the server's uptime in a php file. (eg ~/uptime.php)

 

[sean.ferguson]

got it:

<?
function uptime() {
	$s = explode( " ", exec("/sbin/sysctl -n kern.boottime") );
	$a = str_replace( ",", "", $s[3]);
	$sys_ticks = time() - $a;

	$min   = $sys_ticks / 60;
	$hours = $min / 60;
	$days  = floor( $hours / 24 );
	$hours = floor( $hours - ($days * 24) );
	$min   = floor( $min - ($days * 60 * 24) - ($hours * 60) );

	if( $days ) {
		$result = "$days day";
		if( $days != 1 ) $result .= "s";
		$result .= " ";
	}

	if( $hours ) {
		$result .= "$hours hour";
		if( $hours != 1 ) $result .= "s";
		$result .= " ";
	}

	$result .= "$min minute";
	if( $min != 1 ) $result .= "s";

	return $result;
}

echo uptime();
?>

On my Windows server I used this:

$uptime = exec("uptime.exe");
//breaking at 'for:'
$uptime = explode("for:", $uptime);
//only using the last bit, since I am not interested in the stuff before 'for:'
$uptime = $uptime[1];

The uptime.exe utility used a format like

\\<computername> has been running for: d day(s), h hour(s) and m minute(s)

The easiest way would be using an uptime util that uses the Unix timestamp format, so you can format the time and date yourself. I am still looking for one for myself, so keep me posted (also for freebsd 4.10)
