:) congrats. BTW: I don't think I posted this here yet: I'm the sysadmin for BBLISA, and had to reboot the server a few months ago. At the time, "uptime" reported: 1:02pm up 236 days, 17:53, 1 user, load average: 0.09, 0.18, 0.20 However, there is a "bug" in the Linux kernel which wraps the uptime counter after 400-something days. Here's the information from the root partition superblock. ;) Filesystem UUID: 5bdddb0e-1213-11d4-9f43-00400550fefc Filesystem magic number: 0xEF53 Filesystem OS type: Linux Last mount time: Tue Aug 15 17:40:11 2000 Last write time: Mon Aug 19 13:01:00 2002 Last checked: Tue Aug 15 17:40:08 2000 Check interval: 15552000 (6 months) Next check after: Sun Feb 11 16:40:08 2001 So 2 years and almost 4 days of straight uptime... <sigh> -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "If it works, don't mess with it" - School Graduate

Hmm.. 100 days is not nearly uncommon. Before there's a flood of "check out MY uptime" mails, can I suggest that the minimum threshold be 730 days (2 years)? ;) THAT I'd like to hear about. -Chuck

Eat that Micro$oft :)
Wish I had a way of proving it for you guys, but we had a MS SQL 7.0 server running NT 4.0 that was up for approx 2 years at my last job. Our NT admin was wary about rebooting it due to the fact he never touched it since he started working there less than two years ago and never had to administer much on it.... (Not that I like MS products much better than anything else, but there are exceptions to the rule.) -mike

I bet the hax0rs 0wn3rs of the box keep it up and running just fine :) On 6 Nov 2002, Michael Kingsbury wrote:
