@adamsdesk I just use a C program that shows uptime on Windows similar to the uptime information on Linux/Unix systems.

@lmemsm Oh okay, what's the name of the program? There is many ways on Linux/Unix. I did a post about that too, https://www.adamsdesk.com/posts/check-linux-unix-system-uptime/.

@adamsdesk I just called it uptime. It's something I wrote. I've been working on writing some simplified versions of common utility programs. I have implementations of nproc and free and some others. Needed them for an AIX system at work. I write most of my programs cross-platform. So, they'll usually work for several operating systems. I did notice some other Open Source implementations of uptime functionality for Windows though.

@lmemsm Well that's great. Do you offer these programs for others to use online? I tried to find them with the links you gave on the profile, but didn't see any.

@adamsdesk Still a work in progress. I have several utility programs I'm working on and was thinking of releasing them as a group. I've looked into sharing some of my stuff in the past and there's usually no real interest so I haven't been actively doing so. There are some programs and patches I uploaded a while ago but I haven't been keeping them up-to-date. No one but me seemed interested in them.

@lmemsm I see. Well I'm interested and would consider highlighting them.

@adamsdesk I'll work on trying to package some of my stuff. There's also an uptime utility as part of busybox-w32 ( https://frippery.org/busybox/ ). Doesn't work exactly the way my utility does, but it has similar functionality.

@lmemsm Oh okay, well I'd be happy to take a look once they are available. Oh I wasn't aware of uptime in busybox, thank you.
