Re: Uptime...

I know, I know --- noise, but I couldn't help it this time...

  5:35pm  up 405 days,  1:15,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
User     tty      from             login@  idle   JCPU   PCPU  what
root     tty1                      9Mar96                      w

That was a Linux/Intel dual-ether router -- it finally crashed about 5
weeks later after a major power-failure when the UPS battery ran out.

I agree with the previous comment of "if it ain't broke..." The above
machine was running 1.0x (I think it was .09) kernel even though 2.0 was
out, but it was performing fine as it was (btw, the login shown was the
console session logged in right after boot).

That's a PPro running Linux. Uptime would be higher if we hadn't
upgraded it.

A real example from our core:

XXXXXXX-CoreX uptime is 38 weeks, 1 day, 7 hours, 49 minutes
System restarted by power-on

XXXXXX uptime is 102 weeks, 1 day, 8 hours, 47 minutes
System restarted by reload

10.3 was a fairly stable release.

The longest running devices on our network are likely some DECserver 100's

There is something to the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
