Right now I'm using the add-in PshX-Sapien to pass the machine name and it would be nice to somehow pass it to get the last reboot time from th event logs. I can get my machine's last reboot time by simply putting:
<br />
$app = (Get-EventLog -LogName system|where{$_.Eventid -eq '6005'}|select -First 1)<br />
$app.Timegenerated<br />
Thanks for the help and let me know if there is any confusion. |

Perhaps another way is to look at the LastBootUpTime.
Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem | Select LastBootUpTime |

Thanks, I thought about that as soon as I posted this and then I went to go get some breakfast. But thanks for the quick reply. That works but it gives me this: 20080403165449.375000-360
Is there a way to split it up into Date and Time separately? |

If you like a nice pretty date... you could change this to a datetime object like so
$date = Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem | %{$_.LastBootUpTime}
$RebootTime = [System.DateTime]::ParseExact($date.split(".")[0],'yyyyMMddHHmmss',$null)
$RebootTime

getting an error, not sure on how to fix it:
ERROR: You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
ERROR: At line:19 char:56
ERROR: + $RebootTime = [System.DateTime]::ParseExact($date.split( <<<< '.')[2],'yyyyMM
ERROR: ddHHmmss',$null) $RebootTime
$compres = Read-InputBox -message "Enter a computer name." -title "Restart Time for Computer"</p>
<p>$date = Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName $compres| foreach{$_.LastBootUpTime} `<br />
$RebootTime = [System.DateTime]::ParseExact($date.split('.')[0],'yyyyMMddHHmmss',$null) $RebootTime Thanks Brandon you da man! |

That means the $date is not the format it expects.
I would write-host $date and see what you get. Also... it does look like you changed Ύ] to [ 0 ]

Ok,
If I put Write-host $date after the line that is getting the error then I get the same error. But of course if I put it before that line I get the same number as if it weren't formatted. |

Ok I don't know what changed from your other script but that worked. ??? 
So here's the final script for this, thanks Brandon!
<br />
Add-PSSnapin PshX-Sapien</p>
<p>$compres = Read-InputBox -message "Enter a computer name." -title "Restart Time for Computer"<br />
$date = Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName $compres | foreach{$_.LastBootUpTime}<br />
$RebootTime = [System.DateTime]::ParseExact($date.split('.')[0],'yyyyMMddHHmmss',$null) <br />
$compname = (Get-WmiObject -class Win32_ComputerSystem -computername $compres)</p>
<p>$myarr = @()</p>
<p>$myset = ""|Select-Object Name, Username, Model, Time<br />
$myset.Name = $compname.name<br />
$myset.Username = $compname.username<br />
$myset.Model = $compname.model<br />
$myset.Time = $RebootTime<br />
$myarr += $myset</p>
<p>$myarr|ft -auto<br />
My boss likes to see other information and it looks nice if I have to export it out to excel or csv |
