uptime(1) General Commands Manual uptime(1)
NAME
uptime - Shows how long a system has been running
SYNOPSIS
uptime [-m]
The uptime command displays the current time, the amount of time since the system was last started, the number of users logged into the
system, and the load averages.
OPTIONS
Prints the Mach factor instead of the load average.
DESCRIPTION
The display of the uptime command is identical to the heading of a w command display.
The load average numbers give the number of jobs in the run queue for the last 5 seconds, the last 30 seconds, and the last 60 seconds. The
Mach factor is a variant of the load average, given for the same intervals; the closer its value to 0, the higher the load.
