Project Description

downtimed is a program that monitors operating system downtime, uptime, shutdowns, and crashes and records such events. At OS startup it logs information about previous downtime. It then periodically updates a time stamp file on the disk, which is used to determine the approximate time when the system was last up and running. During a graceful system shutdown, it records a time stamp in another file. The downtimes(1) command line tool can be used to inspect records of past downtime.

This is yet another bug fix and portability enhancement release. A bug that prevented time stamp files from being created if the -S option was given to downtimed has been fixed. The software should be now compatible with RHEL/CentOS 5 and Solaris as well as with some other systems lacking some modern interfaces. OpenBSD and Debian GNU/kFreeBSD compatibility has been improved. An openSUSE startup script has been added. Other minor bug fixes and improvements were made.

This is a bugfix and portability enhancement release. It introduces support for OpenBSD and Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. Backwards lseek(2) was changed to forward lseek(2) to avoid strange bugs on some systems. The downtimed(8) daemon no longer creates its data directory: instead it should be created by the system administrator or package maintainer. There were some minor bug and style fixes.
