Ignore that last feeble attempt at sending email :-)
Q. How can I check a system's availability?
A. Microsoft's Uptime tool, which you can download at
http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/management/uptime/default.asp ,
displays basic system-uptime information. This tool can also list
all startup and shutdown events, and you can use the /s switch to show
the total percent time that your machine has been available. For
example, when I type
D:\temp>uptime /s
on my machine, the Uptime tool displays the following information:
Uptime Report for: \\EAGLE01
Current OS: Microsoft Windows XP, Service Pack 1, Multiprocessor Free.
Time Zone: GMT Standard Time
