Subject: Re: Uptime Since... (#174)

Mine (Only tested on a couple of Linux boxes):


if `uptime`.include? "day"
  puts(Time.now - ((`uptime`.split[2].to_i * 1440) + (`uptime`.split[4].split(":")[0].to_i * 60) + (`uptime`.split[4].split(":")[1].to_i)) * 60)
elsif `uptime`.include? "min"
  puts(Time.now - `uptime`.split[2].split(":")[0].to_i * 60)
else
  puts(Time.now - (`uptime`.split[2].split(":")[0].to_i * 60) + (`uptime`.split[2].split(":")[1].to_i))
end
