Hi,
your solution does not work because files in /proc are virtual and have
no size (their size will be reported as 0).
FileStream>>contents sends #size to determine the length and that will
return 0 for all files in /proc.
So the solution is to use something that does not use #size, like:
(FileLocator root / 'proc' / 'uptime') readStream upToEnd
