Re: Fwd: 'system uptime' service - contribution

If we add it, I suggest it be as zz-uptime, and it be turned off by
default.

In general, the Logwatch scripts parse log files.  The zz-* scripts
are the exception to this, and display real-time system stats.  They
are off by default, except for zz-disk_space (I don't know the history)
and zz-fortune (which only comes alive if you have the 'fortune'
binaries, so I suspect most people don't see it).

Also, I believe that in general, at the lowest setting (Detail=0),
the Logwatch output should reflect items that are in need of attention
or change, and uptime is not in either category.
