1. Introduction
===============

Uptimed is an uptime record daemon keeping track of the highest uptimes a
computer system ever had. It uses the system boot time to keep sessions
apart from each other. Uptimed comes with a console front-end to parse the
records, which can also easily be used to show your records on a web page.

2. Availability
===============

You can always get the latest release from the Uptimed website:

3. Mailinglists

There are similar lists uptimed-devel for development issues and
uptimed-cvs for notifications of changes in the CVS tree. For more

4. Acknowledgments
==================

Uptimed was inspired by a similar utility called 'ud', but is completely
different by design. Instead of using PID files to prevent multiple
instances, Uptimed uses the system boot time to seperate log entries from
each other. This is believed to be more reliable when switching runlevels or
accidentely killing Uptimed or running multiple instances of it.
