Measuring uptime

I've got a RH Linux server and I need to keep track of it's uptime. I was thinking about just making a cron job that calls a script to update a log. Does anyone know of anything built in or available (commercially or freely)?

RE: Measuring uptime

I know 2 comon ways to get the uptime

1. using the linux proc file /proc/uptime

This file contains two numbers: the uptime of the system (seconds), and the amount of time spent in idle process (seconds).

so just type "cat /proc/uptime" in a shell window and it will output 2 numbers like

532934.52 506930.68

First number is the uptime in seconds

2. second way is to use the 'uptime' comand. this command uses the /proc/uptime file and outputs the uptime in a more readable format like

14:48:35 up 6 days, 4:03, 3 users, load average: 0.19, 0.19, 0.12
