Hi,
Is there a way to display how long a Win XP system has been up?
Somewhat analogous to the *nix uptime command.
Thanks,
Esmail
Just run the built-in Windows utility 'systeminfo' from a cmd prompt. 
Python can call 'systeminfo' like this:

import os
uptime = os.popen('systeminfo', 'r')
data = uptime.readlines()
uptime.close
for line in data:
   if line contains "System Up Time":
      print line
Please note that 'systeminfo' is only present on Windows XP PRO and 
Windows Server 2003... Windows XP HOME does not have this command.
