Linux – How to find the uptime since last wake from standby

linuxstandbyuptime

I want to know the uptime since the last wake from standby.

The command uptime only shows the difference between current time minus the last startup time.

Best Answer

In /var/log/pm-suspend.log, look for the last line looking like this one:

Sun Dec 16 09:30:31 CET 2012: Awake.

That's your last wakeup time. You can calculate your uptime since then the way Paul suggested.

Periodically your logrotate will "rotate" logs to prevent them from growing too big, so you may find an empty pm-suspend.log file. In this case, just look for the pm-suspend.log.1 file (you may find also other log files named like pm-suspend.log.2.gz and so on; you can examine them using zcat or zless).
