It finally happened
Calum:
fetid103 just likes to post stuff on here about how he's using windows all the time to try and wind people up.
shame it fails!
Fett101:
No winding this time. I'm quite amazed that it lasted that long too. I also knew of the 49 day bug long beforehand.
Calum:
yes, but the 49 day bug is quite patently not at the root of the problem this time, unless you missed count by six days!
solo:
windows 9x doesnt have a way of knowing how long the computer has been up does it? xp kind of does if you have a cable connection you can check the connection duration er whatever. of course logically on *nix just type 'uptime' at a shell .
dishawjp:
There is an "uptime.exe" for Windows. I actually installed it on one of my windows computers a while back. Do a search for "uptime.exe." Anyway, my Linux server had an uptime of over 350 days until I brought it down to add another hard drive. The last time it went down before that was due to a power failure. It isn't a "mission critical" server, just a toy for me and some friends to play with.
Current uptime is:
[dishawjp@ip4 dishawjp]$ uptime
7:05pm up 51 days, 15:51, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
Ok, only 51 days so far. Give me another few months. It'll look better then.
