Well if you can't figure out how to get it from `uptime` output and you are on Linux you can always use /proc/uptime, try something like:
set -- $(</proc/uptime);y=${1%.*};printf "%02u:%02u:%02u" $((y/216000)) $((y/3600)) $((y%3600/60)) You'll probably want to put it in a script and call that from the tmux prompt to avoid a nightmare of escaping.
