Get OS uptime

(FileSystem disk root / 'proc' / 'uptime') asFileReference readStreamDo: [:s | s upToEnd asString ]

or if you load the "OSUnix" project in Pharo 4 from the config browser
it is even easier:

UnixSystem upTime

And, if there is a system library that provides this data, there is the NativeBoost way:

For example( not linux but windows):

new method:

NBWin32Shell>>#getUptime

    <primitive: #primitiveNativeCall module: #NativeBoostPlugin error: errorCode >
    ^ self nbCall: #( ulonglong GetTickCount64() ) module: #Kernel32

and then you can call it like that:
NBWin32Shell getUptime milliSeconds.

Ok, nice to see there are different way to do it :)

But I think I'll use Torsten's solution.

Thank for the response anyway :)

Ah, I just saw, he already provides the same in OS-Windows.
