Looking through the spacewalk api docs located here:
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/ApiDocs

I don't see see that information listed.  I'll see if i can get it into
the 0.6 api additions though.  We'd probably just add something like
'last_boot' to the system.getDetails()  call.

I went ahead and added that work task to this list (search for last_boot):

Cheers!
