	2. Upgrading from version 0.03
	3. Upgrading from version 0.02

1. Upgrading from version 0.1.x and 0.2.x
-----------------------------------------

The uptimed configuration file has been expanded to support new options. You
probably want to merge your custom configuration from 'uptimed.conf' with
the sample file called 'uptimed.conf-dist'.

2. Upgrading from version 0.03
------------------------------

The location of bootid and logfiles have changed to the /var/spool/uptimed/
directory. This directory has already been created by 'make install'.
However, you also need to move the old logfiles to the new location.

First, shut down any running uptimed daemons.

	killall uptimed

(Note that the killall command might not have the desired effect on
non-Linux systems.)

Now move the old files:

	mv /etc/uptimed.log /var/spool/uptimed/records
	mv /var/run/uptimed.bootid /var/spool/uptimed/bootid

Finally, start the (new) uptimed daemon:

	uptimed

Now follow the instructions as if you were upgrading from version 0.1.0.

3. Upgrading from version 0.02
------------------------------

Versions 0.03 and higher log system information into the logfile. You have
to convert these logfiles manually:

First, shut down any running uptimed daemons.

	killall uptimed

(Note that the killall command might not have the desired effect on
non-Linux systems.)

Edit the file /etc/uptimed.log and change the entries from the format

uptime:boottime
to
uptime:bootttime:systeminfo

Example:

377428:943880710
to
377428:943880710:Linux 2.2.13

Now follow the instructions as if you were upgrading from version 0.03.
