Pull System Status?

[brekfastb]

I'm playing around with a custom driver that allows you to display real time status from variables, etc..

One of the demo screenshots shows a System uptime and last user to authenticate. I've looked everywhere in Composer and can't seem to find where they pulled these statuses from. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

That’s an interesting question.

I’m not aware of a system uptime variable that is available directly for use - but maybe there is one.

Both items may come from other drivers.  For instance, I use a bNet Solutions driver (bTimer) to track various runtimes including system uptime).  By starting an instance of the driver on project startup, I have system uptime available for use and display whenever I need it.

I looked and could not find this a while ago.  I made my own with a variable "HoursSinceReboot" that I reset on project load and then increment hourly with a timer.   I realize that "Project load" is more of a "warm boot" event and not a hardware level uptime, but it did what I wanted.   I also have a reboot count variable.  I used this while my system was flaky to see how maybe times it was rebooting itself and time since last reboot.
