Enhanced
uptimecommand with structured YAML output and cross-platform support.
# YAML format output (default)
x uptime
# Raw uptime command output
x uptime --raw
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
time | Current system time | 14:32:10 |
up | System uptime | 5 days, 3 hours, 27 minutes |
users | Logged-in users count | 2 users |
load | Load averages (1m, 5m, 15m) | 0.52, 0.58, 0.59 |
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
x uptime | YAML format output (default) |
x uptime --yml | YAML format (explicit) |
x uptime --raw | Raw system uptime output |
# Default YAML output
x uptime
# Output example:
# time : 14:32:10
# up : 5 days, 3 hours, 27 minutes
# users : 2 users
# load : 0.52, 0.58, 0.59
# Traditional uptime output
x uptime --raw
# 14:32:10 up 5 days, 3:27, 2 users, load average: 0.52, 0.58, 0.59
# Extract uptime
x uptime | awk -F': ' '/^up/{print $2}'
# Get load average
x uptime | awk -F': ' '/^load/{print $2}'
Load averages indicate system busyness - the average number of processes waiting for CPU or I/O.
| Value | Interpretation |
|---|---|
< 1.0 | System has spare capacity |
≈ 1.0 | System is fully utilized |
> 1.0 | Processes are waiting (queue forming) |
The three numbers show:
Divide load by CPU core count:
# 4-core system with load 3.2
effective_load = 3.2 / 4 = 0.8 # Still has capacity
