Either use the "snmp uptime" script from Nagios Exchange, or write it  
yourself.

Ow... Have you done -any- scripting before? Point is, if you know  
UNIX, you'll know 60% of what there is to know about shell  
scripting :) Cause in scripting most of the commands you'll use are  
your basic UNIX commands. All the shell script adds is logic to tie  
it all together :)

There's bunches of websites telling you all you need to know about  
shell scripting. You'll learn fairly quickly. Trust me :)
