Wild guess, but when you shut it down last time, did you perhaps use "suspend to disk" rather than shutdown? I think you can tell by looking at /var/log/pm-suspend.log, or by doing grep suspend /var/log/messages or by checking the date on /var/log/boot.msg Anders -- Madness takes its toll -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, the "uptime" command bases its output on the contents of /var/log/wtmp. So the probable, though proximate, cause is that this file has not been updated or has become somehow corrupted. Use "last" to get more details. The "last" comment is just a lister for the contents /var/log/wtmp, which is a binary file (go figure).

Not for the time, only for the number of logged in users. For the time it is the kernel internal jiffy count that matters (which is why there was an uptime wraparound at 497 days with a 32 bit jiffy counter) Anders -- Madness takes its toll -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ah, I see. That's interesting. So that's why adjustments by NTP (or whatever) don't break the uptime value. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
