Uptime
hello folks!

how can I display just the uptime without the current time, the word "up", and the load averages using the uptime command or some other command I do not know about?

Something like this:
Code:
uptime | cut -d" " -f4-8 | sed 's/,//g'

Regards

Can you give an output of the uptime command of your system and the desired output?
The output of my uptime version could differ from yours.

The output od uptime varies depending on how long the system has been up. How about:
Code:
 uptime | sed 's/, *[0-9]* users.*$//'

On a FreeBSD machine, the above:

uptime | sed 's/, *[0-9]* users.*$//'

produces the same output as:

uptime

Smilie


netmin@quasar|~(ttyp0) uptime | sed 's/, *[0-9]* users.*$//'
1:46PM up 21 days, 2:23, 1 user, load averages: 0.11, 0.08, 0.04

netmin@quasar|~(ttyp0) uptime
1:46PM up 21 days, 2:23, 1 user, load averages: 0.08, 0.08, 0.04

This should work:
Code:
uptime | sed 's/.*up \(.*\),.user.*/\1/'
