Uptime on NT4 workstation

How can I tell how long my NT4 workstation has been up ?

I am a Unix Admin, and in unix there is a command 'uptime'.

Thanks

In task manager, the System Idle Process shows shows it CPU Time.
That is the only process that is running since the startup of the machine and never stops, so that time is showing how long the workstation has been up.
Hope this helps.

This may help:

You can find a uptime command line tool at:
http://mrdo.com/archive.htm

The source code is included. It uses the number of milliseconds of the tick counter. This counter starts at 0 when you start your system.

My recommendation is the pstools suite from http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml - it came with PsUptime (now apparently part of PsInfo), and the other tools are definitely a "must have"...

"et statistics workstation | more" is exactly what I wanted.

Thanks,
