This is no specific issue of procps, it just returns the value from the kernel. The kernel documents (in the source) that the value includes the time spent in suspend.
/proc/uptime gets the value from here: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.20.3/source/include/linux/timekeeping.h#L93 /** * ktime_get_boottime - Returns monotonic time since boot in ktime_t format * * This is similar to CLOCK_MONTONIC/ktime_get, but also includes the * time spent in suspend. */ static inline ktime_t ktime_get_boottime(void) { return ktime_get_with_offset(TK_OFFS_BOOT); } -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to procps in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/647472 Title: uptime counts time spend in suspend Status in procps package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: procps According to man, amongst other things uptime shows "how long the system has been running". This is not true in the case of suspending the computer, as uptime counts the time spend in suspend as uptime time. In this way one can turn on a computer, put it to sleep for a week and then go back from suspend and uptime will show them the whole 7 days of uptime.
