Uptime retrieves the up time of the specified Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP computer. The up time is the time gone since the last system boot. The time output can be printed into multiple lines so that it can be processed by other applications, i.e. in PHP-Scripts. The application contains English and German texts and adopts to the operating system language. NEW: It's possible to specify a user defined output format which makes it more flexible to use.
Hint: For retrieving the systems up time the application uses the operating systems system log. If the system log is overwritten automatically, it may be not possible to retrieve the up time.
Syntax: uptime {[/a | /f <Format>] [/s <Computer>] |
/?}

(optional) Specifies that the output time is written in
separate lines. This is especially useful when the output has

can be used:%Y=years, %D=days, %H=hours, %M=minutes, %S=seconds, %%=percent character,

I would appreciate any help in localizing the application. If you speak a language in which the application is not available jet, please use the rtf document or the word document with all the applications texts where you can put in the translation. Furthermore I need your help in localizing these websites. If you are known to html al little bit or you have a good html editor you may download this archive with the English websites. The translation templates are also available in German, if this is more comfortable to you.
