`uptime -p` is not standard #15

Closed M-Gregoire closed 3 years ago

M-Gregoire commented 4 years ago

Hi,

First of all, thank you for your repositories, they are awesome!

I noticed you use uptime -p in you powermenu. However, the -p option does not seems really wide-spread and generate the following error on my OS: uptime: invalid option -- 'p'.

Looking at the man page, https://linux.die.net/man/1/uptime the -p option isn't mentioned. Do you use a specific version of uptime?

Otherwise, would you be ready to consider a more standard way to display this information?

On ArchLinux and Ubuntu 18.04, update -p is "pretty"

       -p, --pretty
              show uptime in pretty format
$ uptime   
 01:17:53 up 2 days, 10:17,  1 user,  load average: 0,71, 0,91, 1,17
$ uptime -p
up 2 days, 10 hours, 17 minutes

As @TheToto mentioned, -p or --pretty option works on almost every distro. @M-Gregoire which distro you are using?

Thank you for your answer. I use NixOS which uses uptime from GNU coreutils while, Ubuntu, ArchLinux and a bunch of other distributions take uptime from procps which explains the lack of the -p option. TIL they are different uptime executable from different packages!

It will probably be easier to fix this on my end by replacing the uptime executable so feel free to close this issue; I'll leave it open just in case you want to make a change.

Thanks again for all you different repos, my desktop is much more pleasing to my eyes now :smile:
