Current Uptime

**dsheller** · Aug 2nd, 2004, 09:26 AM

Well, this is my work comp, and its been up twenty-three days. For running windows with year 2000 technology I would have to say its a miracle its not on fire.

How about you guys?

**wossname** · Aug 2nd, 2004, 09:35 AM

my work box and my home laptop get turned off when i'm not there, but my trusty old companion from 1987 has a current uptime of 3 months, 1 day and 19 hours, give or take.

I've got it running a cellular automata simulation fullscreen. Its a hardcore bit of Basic code that prints out screen grabs of interesting features that evolve. Takes about 30 seconds to generate and analyse a frame and another 10 seconds to output it to my old DM line printer on LPT1 if it happens to be interesting mostly they are not. 16MHz of pure power.

My uptime is 20 years, 10 months, 26 days, 22 hours, 8 minutes and 32 seconds.

I have not had any downtime.

**TomGibbons** · Aug 2nd, 2004, 12:06 PM

One of our servers here. Although considering it's a server, I doubt that's anything special.

**dsheller** · Aug 2nd, 2004, 12:24 PM

Not much for sending packets is it =)

I think I have sent atleast 4 million packets on my homepc in the span of a week

**TomGibbons** · Aug 2nd, 2004, 02:02 PM

It's not used a great lot anymore, only by our Edinburgh office which has about 7 employees. Our main database server was another story

Problem is when the human body goes down there is no way of getting it back up again.

- Its the only piece of machinary which must have 100% uptime.

That screen shot (apart from being way oversize) shows you only being connected for 2 hours.....I would have shown my router has been active for a very long time (not that means out) but I had to reboot it last night cos I had trouble connecting, turned out not to be the router though

.

**dglienna** · Aug 2nd, 2004, 08:12 PM

well, that was my laptop, and it was on for two hours. I could have shown a screenshot from the router, but didn't want too much sensative data floating around.

i forgot that i had rebooted the laptop as well. normally I just turn it off and it goes to SUSPEND for quicker start-up.

**dglienna** · Aug 2nd, 2004, 11:41 PM

but it doesn't really have to belong to me, now does it?
I've seen some stats lately. why not just use those.

99.971% uptime for past 12 months. 1 outage.

although I forgot where i saw it.

Sorry, are we still talking about the human body? lol!

**BodwadUK** · Aug 4th, 2004, 07:45 AM

The women look nackered but they are never disapointed with my up time

**gavio** · Nov 23rd, 2006, 06:35 PM

Isn't bad for a 7 years old machine...

**CyberSurfer** · Nov 24th, 2006, 04:44 AM

This machine is about 6 years old and only went down 183 days ago because there was a scheduled power outage in the datacentre where we keep it. Beat that, Windows

**yrwyddfa** · Nov 24th, 2006, 04:55 AM

For all those claiming an uptime of more than one month for their Windows servers then I must add that you are ALL naughty. You should be updating your server with the monthly windows updates. Don't tell your boss you can't be bothered . . . .

System Up Time: 12 Days, 2 Hours, 8 Minutes, 46 Seconds

That's actually my record. Done since i got this new rig. I got tired and switched it off, i wasn't happy!

**TomGibbons** · Nov 24th, 2006, 06:24 PM

I actually had a pretty impressive uptime on my main server but I just upgraded it from Fedora Core 4 to 5 a couple of days ago. Fedora makes me happy.

VMS systems never crash (unless you try to discover their IP addresses automatically)

**rory** · Nov 25th, 2006, 05:41 AM

does scheduled reboot once a day or every 7 days count?

**oceanebelle** · Nov 25th, 2006, 11:12 AM

My system at work's uptime would have to be -8 days now. hehehe.

Just got back, anyone miss me? No? Nevermind?

Yes. Have you ever seen a power draw for a PC? It's actually surprisingly low.

That and the fact mine is only on to fold on my spare core, Cancer Research ftw!
