The only way something like this would work is if there is a Windows file that is written to whenever the system is rebooted. Again, the systems are locked down, so I have few options for finding the system uptime on Windows. The only thing I've found so far that gives any indications is the 'net statistics' command. I know this is a pain in the a$$. When I can use Perl 5 I do. If I had the option, I'd be able to write this in no time. With Perl 4, however, I'm a bit stuck. I appreciate the responses guys. How difficult do you think it'd be to write my own date difference subroutines? I'd imagine it's quite involved since there's an entire module dedicated to this alone.
