- jup V1.1
- ========
-
- Copyright
- ---------
-
- jup is in the public domain. Do whatever you want to do with it.
-
-
-
- Purpose
- -------
-
- jup displays your system uptime.
-
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- Put "jup" into a directory in your search path (typically "c:").
- Add "jup >NIL:" to your s:startup-sequence (or s:user-startup).
- _IF_ your "T:" directory is assigned to a non-volatile storage
- medium (that is, if T: is _NOT_ assigned to your RAM disk),
- put a "delete T:JUPDATA" into your startup-sequence/user-startup
- right before the call to "jup".
-
-
-
- Usage
- -----
-
- Type "jup" at the shell prompt to display the date & time of the
- last reboot, plus the system uptime.
-
-
-
- Notes
- -----
-
- When jup is invoked, it looks for a file called "T:JUPDATA".
-
- If this file does not exist (it cannot exist when "jup" is called for
- the very first time after a reboot, that's why you need to put "jup" into
- your startup-sequence), "jup" creates it and writes the current date and
- time to this file. O.K., so an empty file would have been sufficient, but
- I thought it was easier my way. :-)
-
- If "T:JUPDATA" exists, "jup" reads it, displays the date and time that's
- in that file and then computes and displays the uptime.
-
- Simple, isn't it? And it's extremely system-friendly, too.

- 1.1 Dammit. Here it is: a revision. :-)
- Changed "RAM:JUPDATA" to "T:JUPDATA".
-
- 1.0 Initial release, and I bet there won't be any further revisions.
