I am not sure whether init and/or who are part of openrc -- but it is worth |
| 2 |
noting that "who -b" which is supposed to produce the system boot time still |
| 3 |
appears to be broken. I believe I filed a bug report about this around the |
| 4 |
time of the late 2008 or early 2009 updates to openrc and I believe the |
| 5 |
developer acknowledged that it was a bug. One can easily run a strace on |
| 6 |
"who -b" to see the files it is accessing and presumably this is a bug in |
| 7 |
the current init (or perhaps in Linux itself) that it is not writing a boot |
| 8 |
record into /var/tmp/utmp (for that is the file that who -b seems to open |
| 9 |
and attempt to read a boot-time record from). |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
uptime can substitute for who -b -- but the who -b result was more easily |
| 12 |
processed into forms that could be used to delete unused temporary files |
| 13 |
(which tend to be a common problem on gentoo systems where the reboots may |
| 14 |
not always be clean. |
