TUPTIME(1) Linux Manual TUPTIME(1)

tuptime - Report historical and statistical real time of the system, keeping it between restarts. Total uptime.

tuptime [-h] [-A STARTUP] [-b] [-c] [-d DATETIME_FMT] [-e DECIMALS] [-E STARTUP] [-f FILE] [-g] [-i] [-k] [-l] [-n] [-o TYPE] [-p] [-q] [-r] [-s] [-S STARTUP] [-t] [--tat TIMESTAMP] [--tsince TIMESTAMP] [--tuntil TIMESTAMP] [-U STARTUP] [-v] [-V]

Tuptime report historical and statistical real time of the system, keeping it between restarts. Indeed, it can:

- Count system startups
- Register first boot time (a.k.a. installation time)
- Count nicely and accidentally shutdowns
- Uptime and downtime percentage since first boot time
- Accumulated system uptime (running and sleeping), downtime and total
- Register used kernels and boot IDs
- Report current uptime
- Print formatted table or list with the system history
- Narrow reports since, until or at a given startup or timestamp
- Output in csv format

-h | --help Show this help message and exit
-A | --at STARTUP Limit to this startup number
-b | --bootid Show boot identifier
-c | --csv Output in csv format
-d | --date DATETIME_FMT Datetime/timestamp format output
-e | --dec DECIMALS Number of decimals in percentages
-E | --exclude STARTUP Startup numbers to exclude
-f | --file FILE Database file (file path)
-g | --graceful Register a graceful shutdown
-i | --invert Startup number in reverse count | swich between longest/shortest on default output
-k | --kernel Show kernel version
-l | --list Enumerate system life as list
-n | --noup Avoid update values into DB
-o | --order TYPE Order enumerate by [u|r|s|e|d|k] (u = uptime | r = runtime | s = sleep time | e = end status | d = downtime | k = kernel)
-p | --power Show power states run + sleep
-q | --quiet Update values into DB without output
-r | --reverse Reverse order in listings
-s | --seconds Output time in seconds and epoch
-S | --since STARTUP Limit from this startup number
-t | --table Enumerate system life as table
--tat TIMESTAMP Report system status at specific timestamp
--tsince TIMESTAMP Limit from this epoch timestamp
--tuntil TIMESTAMP Limit until this epoch timestamp
-U | --until STARTUP Limit up until this startup number
-v | --verbose Verbose output
-V | --version Show version

TUPTIME_DBF

Set an alternative database file path. The argument -f, --filedb takes precedence over this.

System startups:

Total number of system startups from since first timestamp available.

System shutdowns:
Total number of shutdowns done correctly or incorrectly.

System life:
Time counter since first startup timestamp available.

System uptime:
System downtime:
Percentage of time and time counter.

Longest uptime:
Longest downtime:
Time counter and date with the complete longest uptime/downtime register.

Average uptime:
Average downtime:
Average time counter.

Current uptime:
Actual time counter and datetime since registered boot timestamp.

Default output.
tuptime -t
Enumerate system life as table.
tuptime -l
Enumerate system life as list.
tuptime -k
Add kernel information to the output.
tuptime --csv
Report in csv format.
tuptime -s
Change default human readable datetime/timestamp style and print times in seconds and datetimes in epoch.
tuptime -d '%H:%M:%S %m-%d-%Y'
Change the datetime/timestamp format. By default the output use the configured system locales.
tuptime --tsince -31557600
Report since one year ago.
