uptime is a Unix-like command that shows how long the system has been running since boot. It prints the current time, uptime, number of logged-in users, and the load average over the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes on a single line; the -p option shows only the uptime in an easy-to-read form, and the -s option shows the boot time. The same information can also be seen on the first line of the w or top command.
Tell how long the system has been running.
