System uptime with uptime

Want to know how long your Linux box has been up for?
Simple, just run the “uptime” command and you will be rewarded with the answer plus a bit more.
8:58pm  up  19:54,  1 user,  load average: 0.47, 0.62, 0.35
Above is the typical reply from uptime. On the left is the current time, followed by the system’s uptime, logged in users and finally the system’s load average.
Sample output;
danesh@pandora:~> uptime
8:58pm  up  19:54,  1 user,  load average: 0.47, 0.62, 0.35
