NOTE: THIS TOOL IS A MILLION YEARS OLD. DON'T ACTUALLY USE IT. IT LIVES ON PURELY AS AN HISTORICAN CURIOSITY. /ktf

This is bbuptime, a bbtool that, you guessed it, displays your uptime. This was a bbtool I really wanted, so I figured I'd just go write the damn thing. Seeing your uptime is a good thing, and it's something that is very easily accomplished for people who use GKrellm and/or WindowMaker dockapps. I, as an avid fan of the Blackbox window manager, prefer bbtools.

A somewhat new feature to bbuptime is the ability to launch applications by clicking on it. You can set which buttons launch which apps in the config file. The reason I decided to do this was that I'm ALWAYS hearing people ask for a decent app launcher bbtool, something that at the moment doesn't exist. Now you can pretend you have one. Cool, ain't it?

Something important to note is that I didn't write this program from scratch. I took another existing bbtool (bbdate by John Kennis), and modified it to fit my needs. The reason I chose bbdate was that it did exactly what I wanted bbuptime to do, show a simple string inside a bbtool.
