tuptime - Man Page
Report historical and statistical real time of the system, preserving it between restarts. Total uptime.
Synopsis
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]
Description
Tuptime reports historical and statistical real time of the system, preserving 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
Options

| -U | --until STARTUP | Limit up until this startup number |
| -v | --verbose | Verbose output |
| -V | --version | Show version |
Environment
- TUPTIME_DBF
Set an alternative database file path. The argument -f, --filedb takes precedence over this.
Default Output
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.
Examples
- tuptime
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.
