The value really has little value, so I removed the line from the skin, so won't see it anymore. I thought it was calculated from /proc/uptime, but that must be server uptime. root@WeeWx:/media/# cat /proc/uptime 27120.94 106950.13 27,120 is just over 7 hours and that is correctly reported as Server Uptime.
