Basically I an using conky to ssh into an android tv box and get the uptime and display it on the conky screen.

I have this so far, found on net and hacked by me but it works, please amend if its crap

uptime | awk -F'( |,|:)+' 'print int($6/7),"weeks",$8,"hours,",$9,"minutes."'

and it shows

4 weeks 1 hour 1 minute

How do I get

4 weeks **1 day** 1 hour 1 minute

Since you tag your question with Ubuntu, below is enough.

$ uptime -p
up 4 weeks, 1 day, 1 hour, 1 minute

see man uptime for Ubuntu.

-p, --pretty
 show uptime in pretty format

Or with your own script:

awk -F'( |,|:)+' '
 printf("%dweeks, %.fdays, %dhours, %dminutesn", 
 $5/7, ($5/7-int($5/7))/0.143+.05, $7, $8)
' <(uptime)

Each day~=0.143 week, and we divided the result to 0.143 to get days, then added 0.5 and with printf' s .f control it will round to next integer number (does as Ceil function).

You may need to change $5, $7 and $8 with $6, $8 and $9.

Also works on RHEL7 and Fedora 24,. so I suspect it will work in any Linux distro.
