Courtney,
If you would like a web interface, your shell script "uptime.ksh" can
be plugged into OpenSysMon -- see http://www.opensysmon.com 

-- 
http://ftp.opensysmon.com is a shell script archive site with an
open source system monitoring and network monitoring software package.
Many platforms are supplied already compiled.
