NAME

       uptimed - daemon to record uptime records

SYNOPSIS

       uptimed [ -?bv ] [ -e <email> ] [ -i <interval> ] [ -m <count> ]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents the uptimed program.

       uptimed is a daemon that records statistics about a machine's uptime. Use the uprecords(1)
       program to get uptime record statistics.

OPTIONS

       These command-line options override settings in the configuration file /etc/uptimed.conf

       -?     Show usage

       -b     Create bootid and exit. This option is ignored on  BSD  systems,  because  the  BSD
              kernel  keeps  a  static  boot  time variable in memory so Uptimed does not need to
              cache this value.

       -p <file>
              Write PID to pidfile <file>

       -e <email>
              Send mail to <email> at milestones/records

       -i <interval>
              Use <interval> seconds for loop

       -m <count>
              Log a maximum of <count> entries

       -t <timespec>
              Set the minimum uptime to be considered a record

       -v     Show version information
