1. Maybe the cloud computers' provider has the appropriate tool? In this case, if you don't find the tool yourself, you'll have to tell us which cloud provider are you working with. 2. The 'uptime' command gives the uptime since last reboot. You may want to add 'uptime >> /var/log/my_uptimes_log.txt' to the shutdown script, and rotate & process, using a custom Perl script, the /var/log/my_uptime_log.txt file each month to total the uptime in that month. --- Omer -- MCSE - acronym for Minesweeper Consultant & Solitaire Expert.
