Uptime command - #days field meaning
When the uptime command is issued, does the #days reflect the number of days since last reboot/powercycle? I have a server that says 925 days and I know it isn't that long.

       uptime - Tell how long the system has been running.

SYNOPSIS
       uptime
       uptime [-V]

DESCRIPTION
       uptime gives a one line display of the following information.  The cur-
       rent time, how long the system has been running,  how  many  users  are
       currently  logged  on,  and the system load averages for the past 1, 5,
       and 15 minutes.

       This is the same information contained in the header line displayed  by

Yes, it should be showing you how long the system has been on since last reboot.
