-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All: For the life of me I can not figure out what is broken in my Signature Perl Script. The bottom line used to display the uptime out put. I would like it to at least output The current uptime in days hours minutes at least. Getting this far has pushed my programing skills beyound their limit. Thanks for your help. Here is the script I am using: #!/usr/bin/perl # get current kernel version $version = `uname -r`; # get current uptime $uptime = `linux_logo -g -a -F "#U"`; @uptime = split(/Uptime /,$uptime); @disp = split(/minute/,$uptime[1]); $disp = "Current Linux uptime: $disp[0]minutes."; # version string has built-in newline. print "\tYours,\n\tRalph.\nIt said uses Windows 98 or better so I installed SuSE 8.0\nProud user of SuSE 8.0 Professional\nRegister Linux User 168814 ICQ #49993234 AIM ralphdewitt\nGPG Public Key available at http://www.keyserver.net\nKey fingerprint = 6426 1CFF 0987 9D51 76D6 06BC F22A CFF4 559A 03E7\nKernel version $version$disp\n"; exit(0); - -- Yours, Ralph.
