System Uptime Utility
This is a simple but useful command line utility for determining the uptime of the local computer.
That's it. That's all it does. I wrote this some time ago, and have found it useful over the years for monitoring up time of several systems. Really. A simple way of sending this to a central location would be to simply pipe the output to a shared location. Say, a file server share. Something like this:
uptime H >> D:\%computername%_uptime.txt
Like I said, I have found it useful over the years, and hope you do as well.
