Hello again!
Does an iMac keep a total of all the hours for which it has been running since new?
It's probably easy to find a record - but only if one knows how!
Help will be much appreciated.
TIA

Thank you.
I tried that and see "18:01 up 5 days, 4:54, 2 users, load averages: 1.48 1.26 1.04"
Are you able to explain THIS part? 4:54, 2 users, load averages: 1.48 1.26 1.04
There's only me using this machine!
It's not exactly what you're looking for, however if your iMac has a hard drive in it you can run a utility like Smart Utility from Volitans Software which provides the Power On Hours data collected by the internal hard drive's SMART logs. Obviously this number doesn't reflect the true power on hours of the iMac depending on how your energy saver preferences are set, but it does provide some information that may be valuable in assessing a system. Of course, if the hard drive has been replaced the prior hard drive's SMART data was lost.
No, however in Terminal you can type "Uptime" and that will tell you the amount of time it has been running since it was turned on.

You're welcome! You may find this an interesting read as well: Understanding Linux CPU Load - Scout, in case you were wondering what those system load values are all about.
Many thanks, 'Tesserax'.
I really appreciate your helpful insight.
You can be sure I'll read about the Linux CPU Load too!
You're very welcome! I'm glad I could help out.
Thank you for the information, ProbsRus.
My curiosity doesn't run to me buying a software facility, but thanks anyway!
