Re: Getting system uptime on Windows

I was able to capture the output by first writing the command to a
batch file and then using exec on the .bat file.

set token [open uptime.bat w]
puts $token "net statistics server"
close $token

set data [exec uptime.bat]

file delete uptime.bat



And then it´s just a matter of parsing the output to get the last boot
time. But if anyone else uses this method, be advised that the output
is in the user´s preferred language, so some fancy parsing is required
to be international.

Also, I don´t think this command is available on Windows 98.
