3355.10Boot recording48363::MULLERWed Feb 26 1997 08:509
    An easy way to track PC boots: add the following to autoexec.bat (or
    whatever script that's executed once at boot time):
    
    echo.|date>>boot.log
    echo.|time>>boot.log
    
    I have no idea for power-off.

    The crude technique for determining power off is to have an app that
    constantly opens a file, and writes in the date and time, replacing the
    last entry that was written.  
    
    At boot, you look up that file, and record the time in the file (or the
    date of the file) as the "shutdown" time, assuming that it runs
    continuously until the system shuts down.  This is how the PC Magazine
    laptop run down tests used to calculate battery life.
    
    This of course only works in Windows, and probably requires an
    custom-written app, and will beat on your disk drive constantly (at
    whatever time granularity you choose).

    I've seen stuff that runs under Webservers that lists all the running
    processes under Win95.
