	Thanks. That worked.   : )

	The first time that I tried the above two lines, added to the 
previous script, the output read:

		"This server has been up for 53 days and 57 hours."

	... Which was ridiculous. I reloaded the page and it showed a 
reasonable time (hours/minutes). Hopefully it will hold and stay 
under 12 hours, permanently.

	If it does, I owe you a beer!    ; )
