httpd restart time

Question

I want to know when the httpd server was restarted, how long it has been up etc.

Thanks Jean

Answer 1

The best way to do this is to properly use something like mod_status for the best accuracy.

I'm assuming this is a RHEL based distribution using Apache (httpd daemon).

Answer 2

Apache on *nix? Then you probably want to take a look at the mod_status module: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_status.html

If you want to access that information from commandline, you can use apache2ctl:

srv107:/home/fab# /usr/sbin/apache2ctl fullstatus

                      Apache Server Status for localhost

Server Version: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) DAV/2 SVN/1.5.1
       mod_python/3.2.10 Python/2.4.4 PHP/5.2.6-3 with Suhosin-Patch
       mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8g

Server Built: Oct 1 2008 09:59:40

mod_status must be enabled for that to work
