I know how to check uptime of a system with the top or uptime commands. But what if I need to do this for a system with a specific id?

    What do you mean a system with a specific id? A remote system?

  • @Jesse_b Well...let's say there's a local network and I'm a system administrator. How do I check the uptime for a specific machine? Sorry if I'm saying silly things, I don't quite understand it myself.
