Bug ID: 244867
Summary: [feature request] Provide sysctl kern.boot_id
Product: Base System
Version: Unspecified
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: kern
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Hello,
Tracking a new startup of the system usually fall into looking kern.boottime.
But it isn't constant, sometimes drifts over time, so it isn't a 100% reliable
source.
On Linux implemented /proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id [1] with a random value
generated early at boot, unique for every running kernel instance.
It would be nice to have it on FreeBSD too.
Thanks,
