Total uptime scripts.

[crs]

Hello. I have one simple thing to sum up uptime.

Lets go:

We need have two files:

Code: Select all

 touch increaseup.sh
touch totalup.sh

Later copy and paste this code into file:

- in to increaseup.sh copy:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

TOTAL_UP_FILE=/root/uptime

UPTIME=`cat /proc/uptime | awk -F"." '{print $1}'`

if [ -s $TOTAL_UP_FILE ]; then
	SAVED_UPTIME=`cat $TOTAL_UP_FILE`
fi

TOTAL_UPTIME=$[$SAVED_UPTIME+$UPTIME]

echo $TOTAL_UPTIME > $TOTAL_UP_FILE

echo " * ...increasing total uptime..."
exit 0

- in to totalup.sh copy:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

TOTAL_UP_FILE=/root/uptime

if [ -s $TOTAL_UP_FILE ]; then
	UPTIME=`cat $TOTAL_UP_FILE`
fi

DAYS=$[$UPTIME/86400]
UPT=$[$UPTIME-$DAYS*86400]
UPTIME=$UPT 

HOURS=$[$UPTIME/3600]
UPT=$[UPTIME-$HOURS*3600]
UPTIME=$UPT

MINS=$[$UPTIME/60]
UPT=$[$UPTIME-$MINS*60]
SECS=$UPT

echo "*** Total uptime counter start: xx/xx/xx"
echo "*** Total uptime: $DAYS d, $HOURS h, $MINS m, $SECS s ($DAYS d, $HOURS:$MINS:$SECS)"

exit 0

Next step is:

Code: Select all

 touch /root/uptime 

(or different file, but you have change this in files above).

Now you have to add the:

Code: Select all

 /path/to/inreaseup.sh

to: /etc/conf.d/local.stop.

Now after reboot or shutdown script will be sum up your uptime. You may check this using totalup.sh:

Code: Select all

 /path/to/totaupl.sh 

PS. I added totalup.sh to /etc/conf.d/locale/start.

yes, indeed very nice idea and nice scripts....(I'm using it on both of my gentoo boxes! thank you!)

what I would like to see:
(check vnstat, which has such features, but is used for network traffic)


- logging data for each day / week / month / ...
- ability to get statistics (average uptime / average load? / .... maybe even plotted with gnuplot)
- updating the database via cron so that a hang doesnt mean you loose your uptime
