Hi all, I wanted to first say thanks. Everyone here seems very nice, and extremly intelligent. I'v been using SuSE for almost a year now and I used to be on this list and a few others before it. And I wanted to say thanks to everyone here because I have learned alot about securing Linux from being here. Question: I know uptime shouldn't be the reason patches are installed, I install all patches on my system but only like 2 have ever needed a reboot, and that was Nvidia drivers and the kernel. So I was wondering what everyone's best uptime they have ever seen was. Currently this box has ...Well, in about 30 minutes it will have 27 days, and it is used daily. 28 days was my best untill a power outage occured. But anyway, whats the best youv had? Or seen at a place of work? -- ____________________________________________________ We Are 138
Hi Allen I've been mostly following the SLE-list, but also this one ofcourse :-) I'm keeping up 4 different small companies Linux-servers.. They have ADSL-lines every one of them, so SuSE is acting as firewall/printer server/HD-server/nightly-backups/VPN-tunnels/Internet-proxy with timers and e-mail filterin computer among other stuff that I use them :-) Best uptimes I had with them just before upgrading was around 250-300 days! With Linux it is very easy to achieve uptimes over 100 days before rebooting.. And usually the reboot is needed because HW (like cleaning the dust from inside, changing fans etc).. and not because OS faults... Jaska. Ps. Happy new year to all!

Once had a system that was well over a year of up time. HP I70 (I
believe). Was the groups email server, web server, lotus notes,
file/print share, development, and used to develop a oracle
application. Unfortunately it was the oracle admin that trashed the
raid disks. Took better part of the night to recover the system from
that.

We have a machine that we use for network routing and backup storage that went well over 500 days before being knocked out by a power outage. Shortly after that we moved the machine into a new case and since then it has been up for 513 days. It's still running (heavily patched) Suse 6.3, which was the latest version when the machine was assembled. --Jeremy

I had a server up for over 3 years. Novell 3.12. Novell end-of-lifed that version and it continued to run on a large ups for two years past eol. It was uses mostly for backup, and was not directly connected to the net. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Currently I have an webserver with an uptime of 155 days. I think this isn't very much as this server just serves some sites and a service written in java. The only thing that needs to be restarted from time to time is the java server. It is said that his weird behaviour is because of a bung in the used runtime... But if needed I would reboot the box every day, when it's time to do a secureity fix. -sa -- sa at programmers-world dot com http://www.livingit.de; Uhrzeit: 12:03 Procmail-Info: http://procmail.livingit.de http://procmailrc.livingit.de Mutt-Info: http://muttrc.livingit.de Boomarks online: http://www.mobile-bookmarks.info
