Veera, Be careful splitting uptime on white space because when a system is up less than 24 hours, it will show
12:58:10 up 6:51, 0 users, load average: 1.08, 0.99, 1.05 which will have one less white space and your desired output will be position 6. I would recommend splitting the output on comma. The fourth value will always be load average. Regards, Stan From: 'Rowe, Walter P.
