http://forums.fedoraforum.org – 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? Also, I am the only user on this machine, and while both lines list my non-root name, it lists it twice as though 2 people have been on. It also says 2 users when I type in uptime. This is what uptime returns. @localhost Begshell]$ uptime 13:57:53 up 10:41, 2 users, load average: 1.52, 1.26, 0.95 Thanks!! (HowTos)

on running the uptime command, it tells me that I have 5 users logged in. I don't understand this since I have on one user registered on this computer. This is the output

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

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?

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

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

Understanding system load 30 weeks 1 hour ago

I was looking at the system load of my shared hosting account.

$ uptime 09:14:37 up 21 days, 5:38, 4 users, load average: 3.85, 4.96, 5.21

I'm not worried by the first and second values, they represent peaks of work.

But 5.21 for the last 15 minutes seems a bit high. Or maybe not?
