https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D244867 Bug ID: 244867 Summary: [feature request] Provide sysctl kern.boot_id Product: Base System Version: Unspecified Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: rfraile@rfraile.eu Hello, Tracking a new startup of the system usually fall into looking kern.boottim= e. But it isn't constant, sometimes drifts over time, so it isn't a 100% relia= ble source. On Linux implemented /proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id [1] with a random value generated early at boot, unique for every running kernel instance. It would be nice to have it on FreeBSD too. Thanks, [1] - http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/sd_id128_get_machine.3.html --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
