The "uptime" variable is used to by snmp clients to do "count per time"

then just sent back the diffence between "now" and that value whenever that
variable is queried
ntpd has an uptime timer. You can get it via ntpq -c sysstats
I don't know if you can get it without all the other stuff.
The counters in sysstats are since reset (second line). They get reset when
written out if sysstats logging is enabled. That's every hour.
Oh, I forgot about this email. I've determined how to implement uptime,
but the only logical way I saw was to break the spec because the spec is
wrong.
See ntpclients/ntpsnmpd.py line 444 in current HEAD.
