Well, here vmlinuz is in /boot: so /boot/vmlinuz, above.
I just looked in /boot, and discovered /boot/vmlinuz is a symlink
to the actual file. While the time is usually pretty close
to the actual kernel file, it might not be.
So it would be:
bc <<<"scale = 1; ($(date +%s) - $(stat -L -c%Y /boot/vmlinuz)) / 86400"

Is that supposed to be a date?

-a Sure ! Isn't it obvious ?-a :-)
-a Meanwhile, almost NO reason ever to insanely

-a versions are still super-functional and secure.
-a MAIN reason might be support for some new bit
-a of exotic hardware.

From my original posting:
Above shows days elapsed since the last kernel update, to tenths of a day.
To change the precision, adjust the scale accordingly.

Ah.
Well, as you can see, each concoction that was posted printed a different number.
cer@Telcontar:~> bc <<<"scale = 1; ($(date +%s) - $(stat -L -c%Y /boot/vmlinuz)) / 86400"
43.9
The correct one is 43.91, calculated using a spreadsheet.

I was. This is all about a piece of code I posted, remember?
