But what I truly want is the uptime.
I haven't found an easy way to do that yet...

That depends what you mean by uptime - it would be trivial to create a CALC record that keeps a seconds counter if you want to measure your uptime in seconds (and don't mind slight inaccuracies since your 1 second scan task might not tick at exactly once a second).


If those inaccuracies bother you or you need the result in a textual format then a subroutine record could do the necessary calculation and string conversion -- copy any string result to the DESC field and call db_post_event(precord, &precord->desc, DBE_VALUE) to make sure the monitor event gets posted. I don't know whether this counts as "easy" though...
