Uptime client software

To have your computer's uptime shown online takes only 3 steps:

1. Select your Operating System
   Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
   Linux/Unix x86 (Excluding FreeBSD)
   Other OS/Architecture
2. Download the client binary
   Download this file, and save it to C:\WINDOWS\ or C:\WINNT\. Download this file, and save it to /usr/bin/. You may need to set the executable bit. Sorry, but I don't have a client binary for your OS/architecture. You'll need to compile the uptime client from source. It might not compile on your system; if not, please email me with your architecture and OS. You can get the source here. Just download and compile it. Example (using gcc): gcc uptime.c -o up. If your filesytem has /proc/uptime then add -D HAVE_PROC_UPTIME to your compile line.
3. Run the client binary
   Open a MS-DOS shell. Type up and press Enter.
   Open a terminal shell. Type up and press Enter.
   Open a terminal shell. Type up (or ./a.out) and press Enter.
   The client will run until stopped, and will use about 500 bytes of bandwidth each hour.
   The client software will attempt to setup so that it starts every time you turn your computer on.
   You can remove this at any time by running "up -u".
   The client software will make 1 HTTP request to the uptime server every 30 minutes. You can stop the uptime software at any time.
