Uptime

[pausen]

Hi,

you can already get the last boottime, but i would also be great if you can get the calculated uptime in min,hours,days and/or years.

We’ll consider this for a future build.

Thanks,

If you are already getting boottime this should be simple. Assuming you are using WMI, you also want to get the localtime on the host and not what you are scanning from so the uptime is accurate. This is what I wrote on an internal program I use.

Public Function GetUptime() As String

Try

Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher(“\” & hostname & “rootCIMV2”, “SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem”)

Dim Bootime As DateTime

Dim localtime As DateTime

For Each queryObj As ManagementObject In searcher.Get()

Bootime = System.Management.ManagementDateTimeConverter.ToDateTime(queryObj(“LastBootUpTime”))

localtime = System.Management.ManagementDateTimeConverter.ToDateTime(queryObj(“LocalDateTime”))

Next

Dim TS As TimeSpan = localtime – Bootime

‘Nice Clean output

Dim time As String = TS.Days.ToString & ” Day(s) ” & TS.Hours & ” Hour(s) ” & TS.Minutes.ToString & ” Minute(s) ” & TS.Seconds.ToString & ” Seconds”

Return time

Catch ex As Exception

Return “Error: ” & ex.Message.Split(“(“)(0)

End Try

End Function
