I’ve written a snippet of code to compute the uptime of my win2k machine (i don’t have uptime like as in winxp).

[code lang="java"] // author: Lawrence Oluyede // date: 18 Feb 2004 // license: throw away code

using System; using System.Text;

public class Uptime { public static int Main(string[] argv) { if(argv.Length == 0) { Console.WriteLine(getUptime()); return 0; }

else if(argv.Length == 1 && argv[0].ToLower() == "-v")
{
  displayVersion();
  return 0;
}

Console.WriteLine("usage: uptime [-v]\n    -v    display version");
return 1;

}

private static string getUptime() { StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder();

int ticks = Environment.TickCount;

// append the hour:minute:second
buffer.Append(DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:MM:ss",
  System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo));
buffer.Append(" up");

// compute and append the number of days
int days = ticks / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);   
if(days > 0)
{
  buffer.AppendFormat(" {0} day{1}",
    days,
    days > 1 ? "s" : String.Empty);
}

// compute seconds, minutes and hours
int seconds = ticks / 1000;
int minutes = ticks / (1000 * 60);
int hours = minutes / 60;

hours = hours % 24;
minutes = minutes % 60;
seconds = seconds % 60;

buffer.AppendFormat(" {0,2:D2}:{1,2:D2}:{2,2:D2}", hours, minutes, seconds);

return buffer.ToString();

}

private static void displayVersion() { Console.WriteLine(”uptime v0.1″); Console.WriteLine(” written by Lawrence Oluyede”); } } [/code]
