I'm a bit desperate. I'm looking for a way to find EITHER the time the system 
was booted, OR the time the last user had logged in, OR the time I had logged 
in (of course it would be great if I could find all of it, but one of this 
would already be sufficient).

From a past posting to this issue, I got the advice to use the 'last' command, 
but issuing, for instance,

  last

I only get 

  wtmp begins Thu Jan 29 09:22:40 2009

which is the time wtmp has been created (but there was at least one shutdown and
startup after this - why doesn't it show up in wtmp?).

Then I thought I could get this information by sysctl -a, but had to learn that 
this is not implemented.

Any other idea what I could try?

Ronald
