Request for system health (not JVM) in Java

Question

Is there a method to neutralize the OS for the system (and not the JVM - I know RuntimeMXBean.getUptime ()) uptime in JavaSE 6?

thanks

Answer 1

Yes and no.

• There are system methods for requesting uptime (for example, uptime on * nix)
• There are ways to determine the operating system .
• There are a small finite number of likely operating systems.
• And you are in a general environment, so ...

Answer 2

therefore, they will not have much success in their implementation, since they write out a specific JRE for each platform that knows the uptime () version for each OS, and they can easily wrap it in some java call like getSystemUptime ()
