>Release: FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE i386
>Environment:
Problem occurs when using either /bin/csh or /bin/sh
FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE does not have this problem.
>Description:
If 'uptime' is invoked as 'uptime', it works properly.
If 'uptime' is invoked as '/usr/bin/uptime', it behaves as 'w'.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ uptime
5:01PM up 29 mins, 3 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
$ /usr/bin/uptime
5:01PM up 29 mins, 3 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT
pauls p1 :0.0 4:33PM 36 -sh (csh)
pauls p2 :0.0 4:33PM - /usr/bin/uptime
pauls p3 :0.0 4:33PM 2days -sh (csh)
$ ident /usr/bin/uptime
/usr/bin/uptime:

There is only one 'uptime' executable on the system, and 'uptime' is
'/usr/bin/uptime' in my $PATH. System is 100% vanilla 3.0-RELEASE.
