Hi, your solution does not work because files in /proc are virtual and have no size (their size will be reported as 0). FileStream>>contents sends #size to determine the length and that will return 0 for all files in /proc. So the solution is to use something that does not use #size, like: (FileLocator root / 'proc' / 'uptime') readStream upToEnd Michal On 19.3.2015 07:07, Julien Delplanque wrote:
Hi everyone,
I can't find out how to get the uptime of the OS from pharo.
I tried:
(FileLocator root / 'proc' / 'uptime') readStream contents.
and
(FileSystem disk root / 'proc' / 'uptime') readStream contents.
but all what I get is an empty string ''.
I don't know if there are messages in some specific classes to do this (in OSProcess for example?).
Thanks in advance.
