Hello,
The btime field of /proc/stat is documented in proc(5) as the boot time in seconds since the Epoch. But running watch -n 1 cat /proc/stat shows that it fluctuates +/- 1 second from time to time, on both UP and SMP (running 2.1.129 and 2.1.130 and 2.1.126).
Regards, Tigran
PS. Thanks to someone who mentioned watch(1) command here today. I did not know it existed and was about to write one (actually, I did for a particular case that I needed to watch)!
