1## 1. Introduction 2 3Uptimed is an uptime record daemon keeping track of the highest uptimes a 4computer system ever had. It uses the system boot time to keep sessions 5apart from each other. Uptimed comes with a console front-end to parse the 6records, which can also easily be used to show your records on a web page. 7 8The original author is Rob Kaper but since version 0.3.4 I (Radek Podgorny) 9took over the maintainership as Rob is overwhelmed by work (and so am I 10but I try my best). Remember, we're talking about about maintainance only. 11Still, feel free to contribute anything, branching and merging is not 12a problem. 13 14## 2. Availability 15 16You can always get the latest release from the Uptimed github repository: 17 18https://github.com/rpodgorny/uptimed/ 19 20## 3. Acknowledgments 21 22Uptimed was inspired by a similar utility called 'ud', but is completely 23different by design. Instead of using PID files to prevent multiple 24instances, Uptimed uses the system boot time to seperate log entries from 25each other. This is believed to be more reliable when switching runlevels or 26accidentely killing Uptimed or running multiple instances of it. 27 28For a list of contributors to Uptimed, please read the CREDITS file. 29 30## 4.
