It means that the OS has not been rebooted since Mon Nov 14.
last
searches the file /var/log/wtmp
to show who logged in and out. The user reboot
logs run level changes (like reboot of the machine) which is shown by last -x
. I found this from man reboot
.
What OS are you running? On my Lubuntu 14.04 it does not show "still running" for reboot. This looks specific to OS implementation.
It does show "still logged in" for each of the terminal sessions my user account vagrant has open, which is what I expect to see.
