understanding linux last reboot command result
linux, shell
Solution
If you use the `-F` flag, it becomes clear that it is showing system uptime across the interval shown. This is analogous to the use of `last username` which shows how long a login session lasted. Since `reboot` is a pseudo-user in the wtmp file, this is a reasonable way to parallel the output for real users.
Problem
When I ran the last reboot command on linux I receive the following result reboot system boot 2.6.32-38-server Thu Jun 7 10:54 - 15:22 (04:27) I need to know what the time 04:27 mean? did the reboot took 4 hours 27 minutes or what? I tried searching for a description to the last command result but with no luck. Thanks
