5592 views 25th December 2014


Probably not some command that many people will look for unless you are a system administrator. Ok, so I need to find out when was the last time my instance, droplets, VPS, box rebooted.

To find out, simply issue this command :

> last reboot

reboot system boot 2.6.32-358.6.2.e Mon Mar 3 21:46 - 05:19 (97+06:32)

reboot system boot 2.6.32-358.6.2.e Mon Mar 3 21:30 - 21:46 (00:15)

reboot system boot 2.6.32-358.6.2.e Fri Feb 28 22:49 - 21:46 (2+22:56)

reboot system boot 2.6.32-358.6.2.e Fri Feb 28 22:47 - 21:46 (2+22:58)

hope this short tutorial can be useful to you.
