Issue #5086 has been updated by Andrew Heichelbech.

looking at the *uptime_seconds* and it is falling through and using *who -b*.

*who -b* down not report year. 

[/opt/csw/bin] # who -b
   .       system boot  Mar 12 23:53

it seems one could convert the fact to use the system *uptime* command

[/opt/csw/bin] # uptime
 10:17am  up 589 day(s), 10:24,  6 users,  load average: 0.05, 0.06, 0.05

or one could get the time the system was last booted from the kernel. (time_t 
format) Then get the local time and do the math from there.

[/opt/csw/bin] # kstat -p unix:::boot_time
unix:0:system_misc:boot_time    1236919980

The advantage of this on the Solaris side is one could add the fact for date 
last booted very easily later.

If I can be of further service please let me know.

Bug #5086: Uptime reporting incorrectly for server where uptime is over on year
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5086

The uptime is facter is reporting incorrecly.

[/opt/csw/bin] # uptime
  7:04pm  up 588 day(s), 19:12,  4 users,  load average: 0.05, 0.05, 0.05

[/opt/csw/bin] # facter uptime
223 days

It does not seem the facter module for uptime takes into account years.  

If we subtract the 223 from the actual 588 it leaves 365, so somewhere in the 
processing I the time for 1 year has been lost.

Environment information:


OS version: Solaris 10 Update 6 
Kernel version: Generic_138889-03
Puppet version: 0.25.5
Facter version: 1.5.8
Hardware: Sun Microsystems Sun Fire X4200 M2
