All, Just noticed the uptime on my desktop machine - it's also printed in my sig. What appealed to me is that I couldn't manage 3 days uptime without rebooting when Win2K was running on the same box. My colleagues still have to do the 3-fingered-salute 'cos they have made the change yet. Thought it was worth mentioning what a great job SuSE has done. Thanks, Damian -- Damian O'Hara using: SuSE Linux 8.0 / OpenOffice 1.0 9:25am up 73 days, 19:57, 11 users, load average: 0.27, 0.13, 0.10

Heh, it depends on the company your box keeps. My backup server passed its 500th uptime day a month or so back. Mind you, it doesn't run 11 users. Sadly, this box I use at work needs to run OpenAFS, which is a tad wobbly. I have trouble getting past a couple of months uptime these days. -- 10:20am up 4 days, 2:57, 1 user, load average: 0.71, 0.29, 0.14
With regards to uptime and users, I have noticed that in SuSE 8, the amount of xterm windows I have open dictates how many users show up in "who" or "uptime".... ie: kreator:/tmp/fluxbox-0.1.10 # uptime 10:08am up 9 days, 15:03, 4 users, load average: 0.31, 0.43, 0.25 kreator:/tmp/fluxbox-0.1.10 # who influx tty1 Jul 14 11:01 influx pts/0 Jul 14 13:48 influx pts/1 Jul 14 13:54 influx pts/2 Jul 14 21:03 This is 1 login and 3 xterm windows open. I'm assuming that the 'pts/0,1,2' etc stand for something different, but why would it show up as 4 users logged in. Doesn't seem very accurate to me. I use Fluxbox for a WM btw. Any thoughts about this? Just curious Ty On Mon, 2002-07-15 at 02:23, Derek Fountain wrote:

I think pts are virtual terminals. However, it is not strange. If you login 32 times you have 32 users logged in, even if it is always the same. I think that xterm are mapped to a virtual terminal only since suse 8. (at least, I did not notice this happening on 7.1). Praise
Xterms have always been mapped to virtual terminals. Previously they were /dev/ttypn. In 8.0, they were changed mainly because of the latest UNIX standards. On 16 Jul 2002 at 0:02, Praise wrote:

It happened definitely earlier than 8.0. kastus@kastus:~> cat /etc/SuSE-release SuSE Linux 7.3 (i386) VERSION = 7.3 kastus@kastus:~> who kastus pts/1 Jun 25 21:08 (:0.0) kastus pts/2 Jun 25 21:30 (:0.0) kastus pts/3 Jun 26 12:16 (:0.0) kastus pts/5 Jun 26 13:36 (:0.0) kastus pts/6 Jul 15 14:45 (:0.0) kastus pts/0 Jun 25 20:25 (:0.0) kastus pts/7 Jul 15 14:58 (:0.0) kastus pts/8 Jul 15 14:17 (:0.0) kastus pts/9 Jul 15 15:32 (:0.0) kastus pts/11 Jul 10 18:47 (:0.0) Regards, -Kastus
