Linux/Unix 系统管理员对服务器的系统运行时间有一种奇怪的痴迷。这里有一个关于这个主题的 xkcd 漫画,一个好的系统管理员是一股不可阻挡的力量,他伫立在你家猫咪博客的服务器之前,对抗黑暗势力。

我们可以使用 uptime
命令或 w 命令 或 top
命令来判断 Linux 系统运行了多久。我可以使用 tuptime
工具保留每次重新启动的运行时间,以获得系统运行时间的历史和统计报告。
这就像 uptime
命令一样,但输出结果更令人印象深刻。最近我发现了另一种称为 uptimed
的工具,用于记录关于机器的系统运行时间和统计信息。让我们看看如何使用 Linux 操作系统上的 uptimed
和 uprecords
来获得运行时间的记录统计信息。
查找系统运行时间非常简单,只需在基于 Linux 的系统上键入以下命令即可:
$ uptime -p
up 2 weeks, 4 days, 7 hours, 28 minutes
要保留有关 uptime
的历史统计信息,请使用 tuptime 或 uptimed
工具。
安装 uptimed
安装 uptimed
的最简单的方式是通过你的软件包管理器,比如 apt/apt-get/yum 这些你的 Linux 发行版的朋友。
在 Debian/Ubuntu Linux 上安装 uptimed
键入以下 apt 命令/apt-get 命令:
$ sudo apt-get install uptimed
示例输出:

在 CentOS/RHEL/Fedora/Oracle/Scientific Linux 上安装 uptimed
$ sudo yum -y install epel-release
然后,键入以下 yum 命令:
$ sudo yum install uptimed
示例输出:

如果你正在使用 Fedora Linux,运行以下 dnf
命令:
$ sudo dnf install uptimed
在 Arch Linux 上安装 uptimed
键入以下 pacman
命令:
$ sudo pacman -S uptimed
在 Gentoo Linux 上安装 uptimed
键入以下 emerge
命令:
$ sudo emerge --ask uptimed
如何配置 uptimed
使用文本编辑器编辑 /etc/uptimed.conf
文件,例如 vim
命令:
$ sudo vim /etc/uptimed.conf
最少设置一个 email 地址来发送记录。假定有个兼容 sendmail 的 MTA 安装在 /usr/lib/sendmail
。
EMAIL=vivek@server1.cyberciti.biz
保存并关闭文件。
如何在系统启动时启动 uptimed 服务?
使用 systemctl
命令启动 uptimed
服务:
$ sudo systemctl enable uptimed
我该如何 启动/停止/重启 或者查看 uptimed 服务的状态?
$ sudo systemctl start uptimed ## start it ##
$ sudo systemctl stop uptimed ## stop it ##
$ sudo systemctl restart uptimed ## restart it ##
$ sudo systemctl status uptimed ## view status ##
示例输出:
● uptimed.service - uptime record daemon

如何查看 uptime 记录
只需键入以下命令即可查看 uptimed(8)
程序的统计信息:
$ uprecords
示例输出:

uprecords
有一些选项:
$ uprecords -?
示例输出:

-? this help
-a do not print ansi codes
-b sort by boottime
-B reverse sort by boottime
-k sort by sysinfo
-K reverse sort by sysinfo
-d print downtime seen before every uptimes instead of system
-c do not show current entry if not in top entries
-f run continously in a loop
-s do not print extra statistics
-w wide output (more than 80 cols per line)
-i INTERVAL use INTERVAL seconds for loop instead of 5, implies -f
-m COUNT show a maximum of top COUNT entries instead of 10
-M show next milestone

结论
这是一个极好的小工具,可以显示服务器正常运行时间的记录,以证明机器正常运行时间和你的业务连续性。在相关说明中,你可以看到官方的 XKCD 系统管理员 T恤 因为漫画被制作成衬衫,其中包括背面的新插图。
