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?
