uptime(1)
NAME
  uptime - Shows how long a system has been running

SYNOPSIS
  uptime [-m]

  The uptime command displays the current time, the amount of time since the
  system was last started, the number of users logged into the system, and
  the load averages.

OPTIONS
  -m  Prints the Mach factor instead of the load average.

DESCRIPTION
  The display of the uptime command is identical to the heading of a w
  command display.

  The load average numbers give the number of jobs in the run queue for the
  last 5 seconds, the last 30 seconds, and the last 60 seconds. The Mach
  factor is a variant of the load average, given for the same intervals; the
  closer its value to 0, the higher the load.

SEE ALSO
  Commands:  w(1), ruptime(1)
