Its README describes the daemon as tracking distinct boot sessions by system boot time and shipping the `uprecords` console frontend for viewing records, including use on a web page. ### Project history The project originated with Rob Kaper, and the current upstream README says Radek Podgorny took over maintainership starting with version 0.3.4. The same README notes that Uptimed was inspired by an earlier utility named `ud`, but chose a different design based on boot time rather than PID-file locking. ### Adoption history Uptimed's ChangeLog shows a portability-focused maintenance history: Darwin support arrived in 0.3.6, GNU/kFreeBSD and GNU Hurd support appeared in 0.3.17, and later 0.4.x entries added Android, DragonFly, modern Solaris, macOS build updates, AIX, and Solaris SMF support. The batch input lists packages in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Alpine, MacPorts, Nix, and other repositories, which matches its role as a small system-administration utility distributed through operating-system package managers. ### How it is used In package-manager culture, Uptimed is installed as a daemon plus the `uprecords` command: the daemon records uptime sessions, while users query and sort the records from the terminal or publish them via the bundled CGI/web-facing support. ### Why package nerds care Uptimed matters mostly as a classic Unix niche package: tiny surface area, long portability tail, daemon packaging, init/systemd integration, and a visible command-line output that system administrators can compare across machines. ### Timeline - 2002: ChangeLog records 0.2.0 and 0.3.0-era releases. - 0.3.4: Radek Podgorny became maintainer. - 0.3.6: Darwin support was added. - 0.3.17: GNU/kFreeBSD and GNU Hurd support were added. - 0.4.x: Android, DragonFly, Solaris, macOS, AIX, and Solaris SMF work accumulated. ### Related projects - The README names `ud` as an inspiration but distinguishes Uptimed's boot-time-based session tracking from that earlier utility. ### Sources - - - input source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. formula declares a Homebrew service. -
