Probably has been asked before, but I'm just curiouse about some of the best uptimes you have seen, what kind of box it was, what OS, details about the OS, and what the box was doing.
I have seen the maximum possible uptime you can get on a 32 bit linux machine, 497 days. It was a P2 machine with 128MB internal memory, serving as a file server, dhcp server, web server, cvs server and small scale database server (sybase). It ran SuSE, 7.2 if memory serves.
After the counter reset at 497 days we upgraded it to a newer suse after which it kept on running, what it's doing today I have no idea
This is a 200 Mhz Pentium MMX w/128Mb running SuSE 8.0, doing the same things Anders lists, except mySQL instead of sybase: Last login: Fri Sep 3 21:39:13 2004 from wsip-68-224-171-200.sd.sd.cox.net Have a lot of fun... mailgw:~ # uptime 10:29pm up 411 days, 9:27, 2 users, load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01 I didn't realize the 497 day limit existed, but it makes sense (2^32 * 10ms / 3600 seconds / 24 hours = 497.1 days). Oh well, the power has to be shut off next week, so this server won't reach the limit. Jim
