call setbootinfo.cmdsomewhere in your startup command sequence, where it would get executed once per bootup. It will modify the file c:\bootinfo\bootinfo.txt (and also uses a couple other files in that directory) to contain information about the timestamp of the current boot cycle, and also the number of boot cycles experienced during the same day. So if the bootcount (first value) is 1, you know this is the first boot cycle of the day. Typically, you wouldn't care about values other than 1 or not 1, but the count is kept just in case.
