uptime: extra space after current time

[Devel08]

maybe could be used in some scripts? trivial difference, but still an incompability with GNU's implementation

Reproduce

uutils uptime

$ cargo run -p uu_uptime
    Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 8.44s
     Running `target/debug/uptime`
 14:24:05  up  5:11,  1 user,  load average: 0.90, 0.60, 0.5

gnu

$ uptime
 14:24:17 up  5:12,  1 user,  load average: 0.92, 0.62, 0.55

We need to talk with both of GNU coreutils and procps-ng about compatibility.

$ uptime --version
uptime from procps-ng 4.0.6-dirty
$ uptime
 14:13:47 up 8 min,  1 user,  load average: 0.50, 0.40, 0.19
$ '/home/a/bin/gnu9.11/gnuuptime'
 14:13:50  up 503 days 17:46,  2 users,  load average: 0.50, 0.40, 0.19
$ uu-latest-commit-uptime'
 14:14:51  up  0:09,  1 user,  load average: 0.62, 0.46, 0.23

I didn't notice that im with procps-ng in /usr/bin too, I get 3 empty spaces after "up" in gnu uptime though

$ ./uptime
 09:34:03  up   0:22,  1 user,  load average: 1.11, 1.43, 0.9

procps-ng has one space before and after "up", should that be reported in GNU coreutils instead?

[oech3]

should that be reported in GNU coreutils instead?

Yes. uutils and GNU should be same with procps-ng considering GNU uptime is not widely used.

Alright, I'll keep that issue open here and open a new one in gnu coreutils
