Martog Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Open up the terminal window and type uptime or w (yes, just the letter w) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/86744-displaying-uptime-on-mac-os-x/#findComment-969140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the evn show Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Launch terminal (from /applications/utilities/) type: uptime press enter there are other ways but that's my favorite. EDIT: damn you and your faster typing martog Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/86744-displaying-uptime-on-mac-os-x/#findComment-969144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martog Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Hehe, well I might have just been a tad faster seeing the topic, I do not know, but I haven't had this apple keyboard two weeks yet and I am already used to it for the most part, except that the alt and apple key are reverse of what the alt and window keys are =P I don't know of any graphical way to display the uptime, i just knew that since OS X was based upon UNIX, it is a good chance that uptime or w would workd. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/86744-displaying-uptime-on-mac-os-x/#findComment-969153 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the evn show Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I'm sadly on a standard PC 104-key windows keyboard right now. My type speed is murdered. Here's another option - if you like applescript: http://www.apple.com/applescript/script_menu/ look under the via applescript option - it uses uptime to display you're uptime but rather than running terminal you can just select "uptime" from a dropdown menu over by the clock.

Martog Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Ah, well I actually bought a brand new appple pro keyboard from ebay for my pc to replace that huge office xp keyboard MS gave me for free a year or so ago.

Aaron P Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 Thanks Martog, I think I tried 'uptime' in the Terminal, however it returned bad command. I'll try again when I'm at home. Perhaps I haven't installed all the command line tools?

TypeMRT Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 Try "MenuMeters" you config under system prefs and it just sits in the menu bar. The one that shows CPU usage also shows uptime when its clicked. Very good for checking out RAM, net speeds, etc. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/86744-displaying-uptime-on-mac-os-x/#findComment-977464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
