When I ran the last reboot command on linux I receive the following result
reboot system boot 2.6.32-38-server Thu Jun 7 10:54 – 15:22 (04:27)
I need to know what the time 04:27 mean?
did the reboot took 4 hours 27 minutes or what?
I tried searching for a description to the last command result but with no luck.
Thanks
If you use the
-Fflag, it becomes clear that it is showing system uptime across the interval shown. This is analogous to the use oflast usernamewhich shows how long a login session lasted. Sincerebootis a pseudo-user in the wtmp file, this is a reasonable way to parallel the output for real users.
