Process Uptime

Find the process ID of the master (parent process), then:

ls -ld /proc/3380
Output looks like:
dr-xr-xr-x 8 root root 0 Nov 12 23:05 /proc/3380
or
ps -eo user,pid,cmd,etime,ppid | grep http
ps -eo user,pid,cmd,etime,ppid | grep service
Show JUST the master process:
ps -eo user,pid,cmd,etime,ppid | grep -v grep | grep http | grep root

Output is simlar:

 3380 nginx: master process /usr/  1-02:50:02
 8543 nginx: worker process          02:50:10
 8544 nginx: worker process          02:50:10
 8545 nginx: worker process          02:50:10
 8546 nginx: worker process          02:50:10
 8547 nginx: worker process          02:50:10
 8548 nginx: worker process          02:50:10
 8549 nginx: worker process          02:50:10
 8550 nginx: worker process          02:50:10

The bit we are interested in is the master process:

 3380 nginx: master process /usr/  1-02:50:02
This represents 1 days, 2 hours, 50 mins and 2 seconds
