Hmm, maybe it wouldn't be much of a hack to get at the show uptime
information and dump it with each log as it is sent to the events.log
file so you can see if certain length runtimes cause crashes as well.
Especially with respect to the post I just read about the user who has
asterisk "going nuts every day".

I wouldn't be opposed to it being put in the CLI prompt too, or maybe
just made available and then we could do something like the PS1
formatting of the prompt.
