Well, maybe you have a point.
But first: strtup is a background only application, file type "appe".
It will log the time and date when your Mac was started up and shut
down. Put it in your extensions folder. When you next reboot, strtup
will create a file called START.LOG and log the time of day and date.
It will then hang around until the system is shut down. At that time,
the Finder will send it the High Level Event kAEQuitApplication. Then,
strtup will log the time and date of shutdown, and exit.
DL #1 strtup
Compatibility
Architecture: 68k
Requires System 7 or later.
System 6 users (if any): Use ResEdit or other utility to change
strtup's file type from "appe" to "APPL", an ordinary application.
Then use MultiFinder to make it run at startup. It will log the
startup time and date, check the System version number, and exit. In
System 6, the Finder cannot send High Level Events, so it exits after
logging the start time.
strtup is small. It uses 5K on disc and 10K in RAM.
