Govind, 

Actually, what I want it the same format as I have, I just want the
numbers to match (or fall within) the numbers reported by the unix
uptime command for example "up 4 days, 21:08 hours".  In my case, the
unix uptime is saying the host was last restarted after the database
startup_time reported in v$instance.

You may use following query will give you the uptime in hours and in
minutes.

select sysdate, startup_time,
round( (sysdate - startup_time) *24*60 ,0 ) uptime_in_minutes,
round( (sysdate - startup_time) *24 ,0)  uptime_in_hours
from v$instance

SYSDATE        STARTUP_TIME   UPTIME_IN_MINUTES UPTIME_IN_HOURS
-------------- -------------- ----------------- ---------------
20021202203918 20021202044608               953              16

Hope this is what you wanted.

Hi:

    Neither of the scripts works for me.  Try this?

select
    'Host Name : '||host_name|| chr(10)||
    'Instance Name : '||instance_name|| chr(10)||
    'Uptime : '     ||floor(xx)||'days '
                    || floor( 24 * (xx - floor(xx)) ) || 'hours '
                    || round( 60 * (24 * xx - floor(24 * xx))) ||
'minutes '
    from (
             select host_name,instance_name ,(sysdate-STARTUP_TIME) xx
             from v$instance
         )
