Hi, Not sure exactly what you mean by 'report the OS or only the uptime'?
WeeWX reports the time since weeWX was started through tag $station.uptime. The value is calculated as the number of elapsed seconds since a timestamp that is recorded during weeWX startup. As long as the system clock works $station.uptime should work fine under Solaris. The tag $station.os_uptime is somewhat more complex. First weeWX assumes the OS is Linux based and tries to get the number of seconds the OS has been up from file /proc/uptime. If this results in an error weeWX assumes this is a Mac and tries to get the OS uptime in seconds using Quartz.QuartzCore.CACurrentMediaTime(). If this throws an error weeWX assumes the OS is FreeBSD and uses ctypes.util.find_library() to obtain the OS uptime in seconds. If this fails $station.os_uptime is set to None. I know little of Solaris, but if it does not fit one of the three cases above $station.os_uptime will be None. Or have I completely misunderstood your question/musing?
