How do I get the server uptime in Node.js?

javascript, node.js

Solution

What you can do to get normal time format is;

String.prototype.toHHMMSS = function () {
    var sec_num = parseInt(this, 10); // don't forget the second param
    var hours   = Math.floor(sec_num / 3600);
    var minutes = Math.floor((sec_num - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
    var seconds = sec_num - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);

    if (hours   < 10) {hours   = "0"+hours;}
    if (minutes < 10) {minutes = "0"+minutes;}
    if (seconds < 10) {seconds = "0"+seconds;}
    var time    = hours+':'+minutes+':'+seconds;
    return time;
}

if(commandCheck("/uptime")){
    var time = process.uptime();
    var uptime = (time + "").toHHMMSS();
    console.log(uptime);
}

Problem

How do I get a server uptime in Node.js so I can output it by a command like; ``` if(commandCheck("/uptime")){ Give server uptime; } ``` Now I don't know how to calculate the uptime from the server's startup.
