Systime System Time Utility Version 1.0.0.7294

This utility displays the current time, the elapsed time and the system
start time for the local system.


Usage/Help:
-----------

usage: Systime [-bhu?]

  Options:
    b - Bare display, (no column headers)
    h - Help (this)
    u - Display UTC time. Default is local time.
    x - Unix uptime-like output.
    ? - Usage


Output:
-------

If Systime is invoked with no operands, the current time, the elapsed
time and the system start time are displayed, in local time format, for
the local system. Column headers are displayed to help define each
value. For example:

rxsh +++D:\Users\bill>systime
START                    CURRENT                  ELAPSED
10-21-1997 08:03:31.000  10-21-1997 21:45:19.452  0 13:41:48.452

The date and time are displayed in the following format:

mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss.mmm

mm   - Month.
dd   - Day.
yyyy - Year, including century.
hh   - Hour, in 24 hour format.
mm   - Minutes.
ss   - Seconds.
mmm  - Milliseconds.


The "-b" option supresses the column header display. This can be useful
when Systime is invoked from within a shell script or Rexx program.

The "-u" option causes the current time and the system start time to be
displayed in UTC, (GMT), format.

The "-x" option causes the output to be formatted in a manner similar
to the Unix uptime utility. For example:

rxsh +++D:\Users\bill>systime -x
14:00 up 1 day, 16:04, 1 session, load averages: 63.13 62.48 00.65

The first time displayed is the current time and is followed by the
total elapsed uptime. The uptime will be represented in hours and
minutes with an optional day count, if the system has been up for
more than 24 hours. The times are followed by the number of active
Netbios sessions on the system and finally, load averages are listed.
The load averages are the percentage of system elapsed time for total
processing time, kernel-mode processing time and user-mode processing
time. The kernel-mode, user-mode and total processing times are
acquired from each of the processes running on the system at the time
systime is executed.


Installation:
-------------

Installation is simple; just copy the file into a directory listed in
the %Path% Environment variable. The distribution also includes debug
symbols. This file should be copied into %SystemRoot%\Symbols\Exe, in
order for ntsd, (or windbag, I guess), to find it.

Note that the .DBG symbol file is needed only if you want to run the
program a debugger such as ntsd. The file is not needed for any other
reason than to make the internal symbols available to the debug program.
