[olug] Uptime to boot date

[Jon H. Larsen]

Good idea.

That should be close enough.
2527 Jun 23  2001 dmesg

'ps auxw' lists init starting in 2001
USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root         1  0.0  0.1  1376   72 ?        S     2001   0:35 init [3]

Not much in /proc/1 that gives anything away.  Hmmm....


Thanks for all the suggestions.
