I for one just use this:
~>> irb
>> File.new('/proc/loadavg').read
=> "0.57 0.47 0.35 1/197 1862\n"

but a quick gem search reveals a gem that might be related to this:
~>> gem search -r uptime

*** REMOTE GEMS ***

sys-uptime (0.4.5, 0.4.4)
A Ruby interface for getting system uptime information.

It depends on whether you want to lock yourself into a specific OS or
not. Just out of curiosity, what's your goal here? What will you
application *do* with the information?

Well calling `uptime` will certainly work and maybe the most simple.
Although, if you are looking for an API that abstracts this a bit,
take a look at Daniel Berger's sysutils projects at:
