How do you know a Queue Manager is running from how many days?
Is there any command? |

"DISPLAY QMSTATUS ALL"
In future, please at least have a quick google & look in the infocenter before asking question that are trivial in nature. |

QMSTATUS displays the start date and time, and valid for recent MQ versions. In the older ones like 7.0.x. the output isn't so complete.
If it you are using and older MQ version you can look to the SYSTEM.ADMIN.QMGR.EVENT queue, a event message is put there when the qmgr starts.

Or if you have logs old enough you can see in the error logs when the qmgr was last started...

This will occur only if Start/Stop Events are enabled for that Queue Manager.

And if there is a proper MQ event reading application setup to read those event messages  |

you can browse the queue and look for put date and time , don't need to format the event message  |

The event messages will be produced whether there is an event reading application setup to read those messages or not.

 Yes, I agree. But the message will not contain any human readable data, and hence I mentioned it has to be processed by an event processing app.
As ramires mentioned in the previous post, we can use the message put date time in SYSTEM.ADMIN.QMGR.EVENT and assume that the queue manager was started at that date / time. There is also a possibility that other queue manager event messages (not only related to start and stop of the queue manager) also end up in this queue.
Second probability is that if there is a monitoring app setup like tivoli, qpasa, contact admin etc, the message would have been read by these event processors and the queue would be empty immediately after its started.
Again, as ramires stated, best way would be to get the queue manager start date and time would be the "dis qmstatus all" command and look at STARTDA and STARTTI attribute values.
Thanks ramires and peterpotkay.  |

Another place to look is the AMQERR01.LOG file for the queue-manager in question. To demonstrate, I created a new queue-manager called TEST1. I then viewed (Windows NotePad in this case) the AMQERR01.LOG file.
You should see something like this:
| Quote: |
12/29/2014 14:05:19 - Process(3628.1) User(Administrator) Program(amqzxma0.exe)
Host(XPBASE) Installation(Installation1)
VRMF(7.5.0.0) QMgr(TEST1)
AMQ8003: WebSphere MQ queue manager 'TEST1' started using V7.5.0.0. |
You will also find this:

VRMF(7.5.0.0) QMgr(TEST1)
AMQ8004: WebSphere MQ queue manager 'TEST1' ended. |

I had in my notes the following different PS commands by OS, I think they came from an info article but I can't seem to find them now.
Hope it helps!
HP-UX
env UNIX95=1 ps -eo etime,args,pid | grep "[a]mqzxma0 -m MQSHP042A3_2"
134-13:30:02 amqzxma0 -m MQSHP042A3_2 9185
Note: It indicates that the queue manager MQSHP042A3_2 has been running for 134 days, 13 hours, 30 minutes and 02 seconds.
AIX:
ps -eo etime,args,pid | grep "[a]mqzxma0 -m MQHIDF313"
11-08:37:37 amqzxma0 -m MQHIDF313
Note: It indicates that the queue manager MQHIDF313 has been running for 11 days, 08 hours, 37 minutes and 37 seconds.

ps -o etime,stime,time,cmd -C "amqzxma0 -m MQALPD312"
ELAPSED STIME TIME CMD
