in thread Conveting SNMP-returned ticks to

Right. It's just a count of the total number of ticks your device has been up. If the uptime is 2 seconds, sysUpTime.0 will be 200. You can extract a human readable number pretty easily with some math.
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; # Calculate ticks per second, minute, hour, and day my $TICKS_PER_SECOND = 100; my $TICKS_PER_MINUTE = $TICKS_PER_SECOND * 60; my $TICKS_PER_HOUR = $TICKS_PER_MINUTE * 60; my $TICKS_PER_DAY = $TICKS_PER_HOUR * 24; sub tick2time { my $ticks = shift; my $seconds = int($ticks / $TICKS_PER_SECOND) % 60; my $minutes = int($ticks / $TICKS_PER_MINUTE) % 60; my $hours = int($ticks / $TICKS_PER_HOUR) % 24; my $days = int($ticks / $TICKS_PER_DAY); return ($days, $hours, $minutes, $seconds); }

    Thanks! I actually figured out a solution like this:
    $uptime=$snmp->get("sysUpTime.0"); $uptime=localtime(time()-($uptime/100));
    For an "upsince" stamp...
    However, I like the granularity of your solution, so I think I'll plagiarize the heck out if it if you don't mind, as it'll give me a better timestamp for the HTML output.. Thanks!
