Uptime

[ACiDiAC]

Would anyone else like to see an accumulative uptime as well as uptime since restart?

What's accumulative uptime? Is it registered to particular hardware or merely tied to the USB Flash Drive? If you change enough hardware of the system does the accumulative uptime start over at 0 again?

[ACiDiAC]

Just a ongoing uptime from start. Hardware changes cause the system to return to zero as it is now. Or any reason to restart the server for that matter.

Please describe in more detail the two different elapsed times you want to see. Right now it sounds like you are describing the same thing, which is already displayed in the upper right corner of the webGUI.

I wonder if the OP war thinking of the time since the Unraid release being run was actually installed?

OK,  I have built my server and installed Unraid and fired it up for the first time. Uptime shows 20:00 minutes. I install some features or wish to add ssd for cache pool. Needing to restart the uptime resets back to 00:00 and starts over. Say 10:00 minutes passes, New uptime is 10:00, total uptime would be 20:00 + 10:00=30:00 I would like to see both times displayed if possible.

 

Is that clearer?

Somewhat. What condition would reset the total?

[ACiDiAC]

Perhaps upgrading the account itself. I would just like to see the ongoing total and that would not really need to be reset unless a catastrophic event.

I know it's not exactly the same but you can see how many hours are on each disk in the smart data and so the oldest gives you at least some idea of array up-time. The image below shows the disk has run for 2 years 6 months and 18 days...

I still think you have not clearly specified when you think the value should be reset to 0?

 

for instance do you mean when:

• when you first started using Unraid on this flash drive
• when you installed the release that is currently running onto this flash drive
• something else

without a clear understanding of what is being looked for it Is not possible to discuss the merits of a suggestion, let along try to implement something.

for instance do you mean when:

• when you first started using Unraid on this flash drive <-------- Accumulative uptime with no need to reset to zero.
• when you installed the release that is currently running onto this flash drive<--------- Uptime as it is now and would be set to zero as versions change.
• something else

For a cumulative uptime since, do the following:

 

 ls -al /boot/config/*.key

 

🤣

[ACiDiAC]

ls -al /boot/config/*.key
-rw------- 1 root root 256 Mar 20  2019 /boot/config/Plus.key
-rw------- 1 root root 256 Dec 14  2018 /boot/config/Trial.key

 

Not quite what I was looking for but It does give start date of current keys.
