TCL(Tool Command Language) Scripting :: pure tcl windows uptime?


	pure tcl windows uptime? Is ther a way, some command to execute, to get the uptime of a windows box as easy as getting the uptime of a unix box? I can easily grab the uptime in unix with a 'set l [exec uptime]'. I know about twapi and for political reasons I want to install as little as possible on my windows boxes.

Then take your application (with twapi) and wrap it as a starpack -- then you only have one file to install. -- +--------------------------------+---------------------------------------+ \| Gerald W.

He studied at the Shao Linux Temple. google for "uptime.exe" It's either MS or systeminterals free program. If you can't find a copy I can send you one.

Yes but on my system it is awfully slow. One quicker alternative is 'set l [exec net stats server]'. -Alex Alexandre Ferrieux wrote: > One quicker alternative is 'set l [exec net stats server]'. Oh yeah. I knew there was a better one. -- Darren New / San Diego, CA, USA (PST) His kernel fu is strong. He studied at the Shao Linux Temple.

Oops, my mistake. I found systeminfo for uptime. Someone was talking to me while I typed the message. I have uptime from systeminfo.exe. I was thinking that on unix I get the load average from uptime, so I typed uptime instead of load average. Is there a way to get the load average from windows or tye instantaneous(?) cpu usage and I'll compute my own load average. Mike
