Topic: Uptime

[Terry Brummell]

Just wondering what everyone's uptime looks like:

  8:13am  up 257 days, 22:48,  1 user,  load average: 0.28, 0.06, 0.02
61 processes: 60 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:  0.1% user,  1.7% system,  0.0% nice, 98.0% idle
Mem:    65124K av,   64072K used,    1052K free,       0K shrd,    4684K buff
Swap:  264056K av,   12988K used,  251068K free                   10720K cached

Running on a PI 166, 64 Meg ram.  Used as a backup server to backup 2 NT servers, as well as a Unix database so it is available to our subnet if the corporate core router goes down (again!).  System does not do domain login, runs a small intranet site and is a place for us to put files that are needed by our work group.
Backup to Desktop is run once a week and is kept on a network share, giving us redundant backups of our NT databases as well as the Unix database.  SME was exactly what we needed to accomplish this.

Well Terry,

Due to the fact I 'abuse' my e-smith box for many things (i know, don't _ever_ use your production server fort that!) It's uptime will never reach a few months

Mine too (here at home), the most I ever saw with it, running 5.1.2 was 90 days (the summer time when I didn't play with the server much).  I should mention that the work server is running v5.1.2 with updates, haven't bothered to bring it up to 5.5 as it works just fine the way it is.

Here are 4 of my production servers, - all running on very old HW:


  4:06pm  up 104 days, 23:47,  1 user,  load average: 0.14, 0.14, 0.21

  4:06pm  up 95 days, 23:29,  1 user,  load average: 0.07, 0.02, 0.00

  4:05pm  up 104 days, 23:49,  1 user,  load average: 0.13, 0.03, 0.01

  4:07pm  up 104 days, 23:51,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

It seems we had some major electricity disconnection 104 days ago...

(Well, actually I had to shut the servers down that day due to a major blackout)

...Befor that I had something like 365 days or so...

Merry Christmas!

Dont mitel collect them over the net ? Any stunning times Charlie ?

[Jens Kruuse]

Cruel question. Power failure here 90 mins ago. Only lasted 1 minute but that was plenty.

Server came up fighting though, with all sockets ready for action.

mine has never lasted more then 30-60 days something happens with my dsl or like the last restart the power blinkd for like 4 secs and it came down hard and then when it did come back up I was unable to get to my webpage that was setup ,frp worked fine but no webmail or webpage access ......the only bad thing I learned that day is that i had moved 2 months prior and my dsl provider said it was not available then sent me a letter saying it was and after 3 weeks of complaing and calling they got me hooked up and running ...they did not send me a new username so I just figured to use the same one from before so i just plugged the box up and it was running fine  ( I was with out dsl for about 4 weeks ) and ran for about 65 days after it restarted I was unable to get online and upon calling sprint was told that I had not set up a username or password and that since he estimated they clear out old usernames every 30 or so days my system because I was running linux had held onto my ip information

I'd have had over ninety days easily if the damn steam iron hadn't cut the power!
Anyone got a spare UPS that will last long enough to get me to the fuse box?
