uptime(1)uptime(1)NAMEuptime - Shows how long a system has been running
SYNOPSISuptime [-m]
The uptime command displays the current time, the amount of time since
the system was last started, the number of users logged into the sys‐
tem, and the load averages.
OPTIONS
Prints the Mach factor instead of the load average.
DESCRIPTION
The display of the uptime command is identical to the heading of a w
command display.
The load average numbers give the number of jobs in the run queue for
the last 5 seconds, the last 30 seconds, and the last 60 seconds. The
Mach factor is a variant of the load average, given for the same inter‐
vals; the closer its value to 0, the higher the load.
