Uptime of the go process itself

[rogierlommers]

Any idea how to get the uptime from the Go process itself without wrapping an exec command?

honestly: no idea. I see that found this repo by googling "golang uptime", that's funny :P (https://github.com/mindreframer/golang-stuff/blob/master/github.com/jondot/gosigar/examples/uptime.go)
What is the problem with exec command? If you're not spawning hundreds of them, it should be fine, not?

Thanks for the link; the package get's the global uptime of the system. I'm interested in the uptime of a specific golang process. The exec command isn't that bad, but to be fully platform independent (running on Windows), we need a better solution, right?
