uptime command will tell you how long since the system booted up.

alright, I do not know there is a command can tell you this but if you have a look at /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file. The date and time of the first entry is a very good indication of when the system booted up.

The command is who -b

Hi Khashru:

In addition to the aforementioned 'uptime' command, you can examine the history recorded in '/etc/shutdownlog' and '/etc/rc.log'. Perhaps together, all three pieces will give you what you seek.

Also the last command:

last |grep reboot |head -1
