computer timer

[cybergeo3]

hello,

im looking for a very simple application that will tell me how long my computer has been turned on. I generally run my computer constantly, and only turn it off when i dont use it for a day at a time, but i like to restart it every few days, and id like something to tell me how long it has been since my last resart. If there is some way to do it in windows thatd be great, but i cant find anything. I dont need it to be a program that restarts my computer for me, or anything like that, just a simple timer. Thanks for any advice.

Try coolmon
I've got mine set up to tell me...
top process:
% of processor useage:
up time in days, hours, minutes, and seconds
ram used/total
ip adress
drive space
Its pretty nifty and totally customizable...Maybe I'll get around to posting a screen shot...

Just make a batch file in Notepad containing the following text:

@echo.
@systeminfo | @find "System Up Time:"
@echo.


I named mine uptime.bat. PLace it in your windows folder. From a command prompt (Winkey + R type cmd) type in uptime.

i tried doing the uptime.bat command, and when i enter uptime in the command prompt, it opens a msdos window, and runs through a little thing like, loading processor information, and some otehr stuff too fast to read, then closes. am i doing something wrong? thanks for your help.

nevermind, i figured it out. I just added @pause to the end of the batch file, for anyone interested. Thanks for the advice, it works perfectly.
