How do you find the uptime of a Linux server?

The uptime of a Linux server can be found using the following methods:

  1. Using the “uptime” command:
uptime

This command displays the current time, the amount of time the system has been running, the number of users currently logged on, and the system load averages for the past 1, 5, and 15 minutes.

  1. Using the “top” command:
top

This command displays the system resource usage and process information. The uptime is displayed at the top of the output, next to the “load average” line.

  1. Using the “cat” command and the “/proc/uptime” file:
cat /proc/uptime

This command displays the system uptime in seconds. The first number is the total uptime, and the second number is the amount of time the system has spent idle.
