+uptimed (An uptime deamon to log your best uptimes)
+
+Stores your best uptime statistics in "/var/spool/uptimed/records"
+
+The 'uprecords' command will display your best uptime results.
+
+Note: See below on how to launch uptimed automatically.
+Additional configuration via "/etc/uptimed.conf"
+  (See "/etc/uptimed.conf-dist")
+
+The uptimed daemon runs in the background and regularly stores the following 
+data to "/var/spool/uptimed/records";
+"<Uptime in seconds>:<Boot up in unixtime>:<System kernel name and release>"
+The boot up value is used as a unique identifier.
+
+See "uprecords -?" for additional record display options.
+
+The "uprecords" file can be copied as "uprecords.cgi" to your CGI directory,
+and will render Content-type head information and HTML tabs as necessary.
+(See "INSTALL.cgi" in the extracted source for more information.)
+
+To have the daemon launch automatically at boot time,
+  1) Set the rc.uptimed file as executable;
+	chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.uptimed
+  2) Add an entry in rc.local with;
+	if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.uptimed ]; then
+	/etc/rc.d/rc.uptimed start
+	fi
+
+Q: Why are my records not saved between reboots? I can see the current uptime
+  info with the 'uprecords' command.
+A: The uptimed daemon was possibly not running to regularly save the data to the
+  "/var/spool/uptimed/records" file. See above on how to automatically start
+  the daemon, and confirm that the "/var/spool/uptimed" directory exists
+  and is writable.
