UPTIMED(8)

NAME

uptimed - daemon to record uptime records

uptimed [ -?bv ] [ -e <email> ] [ -i <interval> ] [ -m <count> ]

This manual page documents the uptimed program.

uptimed is a daemon that records statistics about a machine's uptime. Use the uprecords(1) program to get uptime record statistics.

These command-line options override settings in the configuration file /etc/uptimed.conf

-? Show usage

-b Create bootid and exit. This option is ignored on BSD systems,: because the BSD kernel keeps a static boot time variable in memory so Uptimed does not need to cache this value.
-p <file>: Write PID to pidfile <file>
-e <email>: Send mail to <email> at milestones/records
-i <interval>: Use <interval> seconds for loop
-m <count>: Log a maximum of <count> entries
-t <timespec>: Set the minimum uptime to be considered a record
-v Show version information
