Hi all,

Can the following be shortened in any way to achieve the same output?

uptime | awk '{print "Uptime information for this Host: " $2, $3,
$4,"since: " $5}' | sed 's/[,/]//'g
Uptime information for this Host: up 48 day(s) since: 22:31

I'd also like to, (if possible?) replace "Host" in the output with a either
a declared variable or by running the `hostname` command in Solaris within a
script.

HOST=`hostname`
echo `hostname`

Regards
William
