The longest Emacs uptime

The longest Emacs uptime

[Leo]

My Emacs uptime has reached 30 days, 3 hours, 27 minutes, 44 seconds.
This is the longest since I started using Emacs in 2005.

How does one check their Emacs uptime?

Gotcha!  Your emacs version Emacs/23.0.91 in the User-Agent header is
not 2 years old.

Thank you. My machine(s) go on when I am using them and are shut off when 
I am not. I do not see any reason to keep them up 24/7 if I am not using 
them. WTF is the point of doing so (unless one is donating idle time to 
SETI or making BitTorrents available)?

What's the point of paying for a computer if you don't have a usage
for it 24/24 365/365?  Better keep the money to pay yourself a
cocacola on the beach otherwise...

Well, if you're using a recent enough development version, then it's
`M-x emacs-uptime'. Otherwise you'd ask your OS how old the process
is, e.g. with 

  ps -eo "%c %t" | grep emacs

which spits out 17-20:04:20 for me. 8-)

My goodness. My emacs session is usually killed by the sys admin. Maybe
it is summer recession, this current one gets to live more than a month.

I've got this in my ~/.emacs:

    (message text)))


(defvar *emacs-start-time*   (current-time) "For (emacs-uptime)")

(.EMACS "emacs-uptime")
(defun emacs-uptime ()
  "Gives Emacs' uptime, based on global var `*emacs-start-time*'."
  (interactive)
  (let* ((st *emacs-start-time*)

One (the Windows box) is set up and dedicated for recording/creating 
music, the laptop runs Ubuntu Linux and I use it when I want to do stuff 
out of the house and the last one (a desktop) also runs Ubuntu Linux and 
is my main box, I surf the net from it, do mail, read newsgroups, tweet, 
manipulate images etc from it. Occasionally I may have two on 
simultaneously running updates or rendering.

Then you have a broken build. This function is available at least since
