How to install Tuptime on OpenSUSE Leap 42.3
To install Tuptime on OpenSUSE Leap 42.3
Tuptime is a tool used for reporting the historical and statistical running time of a Linux system. This tool workds more less like the uptime command but provides a more advanced output. It also contains features such as register used kernels, first boot time, system startups, calculate uptime and downtime from first boot time, print current uptime and calculate the accumulated system uptime,downtime and total. This tutorial covers the installation procedure of Tuptime on OpenSUSE Leap 42.3.
Pre- Requisite
- Python modules (sys, OS, optparse, sqlite3, datetime, locale, platform, subprocess, time).
- Python 2.7 or 3.x installed but latest version is recommended.
Installation procedure
To proceed with the installation procedure, install the “ git” in the target system by entering into the tmp directory and executing the following command.
linuxhelp:~ # cd /tmp/
linuxhelp:/tmp # zypper in git
