uptime command - #days field meaning
When the uptime command is issued, does the #days reflect the number of days since last reboot/powercycle? I have a server that says 925 days and I know it isn't that long.

Who -b said Aug 20 and uptime says 926 days. One article seemed to indicate it might be the number of days its been up, not since the last reboot.

I'm confused.

last reboot ¦ head -1 (or 'more' instead of 'head')
