Subject: [PATCH] uptime plugin: don't cache boot time and simplify Linux code
|
|
|
|
Caching boottime on startup yields incorrect uptime values if system
|
|
date changes after the daemon is started.
|
|
This is almost certain to happen on embedded systems without RTC, where
|
|
clock is set from NTP server at some point after boot process.
|
|
|
|
On Linux, we can retrieve uptime directly by either reading /proc/uptime
|
|
(it's sufficient to read a few bytes) or calling sysinfo() function.
|
|
Use the latter since it's the most efficient way in speed, memory
|
|
requirements and code simplicity terms.
