What you're really asking is, "are there any pre-built
features in the MacOS to support uptime statistics".

I'm not aware of any, but this seems like it would be easy to
create. Just make a little MacPerl droplet to read the system
clock and save it to a file. Put this droplet into your
startup folder so that it runs every time the computer starts
up, thus providing a timestamp of the last restart. Then you
just need another MacPerl script to read the timestamp from
the file and compare to the current time. Seems like it
should work... anyone see an obvious problem?
