System IDLE Time > System Uptime?

linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I was testing out the linux api while working on something but got stuck on the following output. [Abhii@localhost net]$ cat /proc/uptime 39135.53 149657.73 As per specs the first number should be the Uptime and the second number should be the time system has stayed idle. So why is the former less then latter ??? As an extra piece of info my version information Linux version 3.5.2-3.fc17.x86_64 (mockbuild@) (gcc version 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Tue Aug 21 19:06:52 UTC 2012 (HowTos)

Stories similar to System IDLE Time > System Uptime?

I'm curious as to how I could have negative downtime that keeps increasing, as well as uptime beyond 100%.

I'm new to linux and I installed ubuntu 11.10 x64. I got a HP Envy 14 laptop (i7 second gen) and my batterytime is half the uptime I get in windows 7. Now I got 2hours and it discharges in 30w. In windows I get about 4-5 hours uptime.

I have done some guides so I only use the integrated graphicscard. I ran powertop and pasted it here below, if someone can get something out of it..

who command 1 year 2 weeks ago

I have a question about the who command.

When I type who

The output of my terminal is

username tty1 2012-06-02 06:25 (:0) username pts/0 2012-06-02 13:41 (:0)

My question is what is pts/0 and what is ttyl? Also, what is the (:0) at the end?

Background info

I'm currently running CentOS (or Red Hat?).

uname -a gives (I edited out my domain name)

Linux XXXXXXXXX.com 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 27 19:49:27 BST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

cat /etc/issue gives

CentOS release 6.2 (Final) Kernel \r on an \m

and `cat /proc/version' gives

Linux version 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 (mockbuild@c6b5.bsys.dev.centos.org)

I want to display /proc/uptime in well format as:

DD:HH:MM:SS

/proc/uptime give me up time of system in seconds, is there a standard solution that convert seconds to this format?

I need to find PC uptime from first day until now.

Is logged this uptime hours in somewhere?

Any file log this times?

Can I do that?

Hi

One of our server is showing the uptime 0hr 5mints there is no log in /var/log/messages there is no log in command "last" kernel version is 2.4.9 (RH2.1 AS)

What could be the reason for this. is this issue is related to uptime counter reached max how to verify this. Best Regards KVK
