Uptime

damgar · 07-10-2012, 05:53 PM

I'm just curious to see the output of $uptime on people's Slackware machines.

Code:

$ uptime
 17:04:48 up 8 days, 11:56,  3 users,  load average: 0.90, 0.99, 1.10

I updated my kernel the other day so it has only been running nonstop for 8 days, but I bet someone on here has a machine that's been running for a LOT longer.

Suspect this will be easily beaten but I'll throw it in anyway. My Slackware 12.2 server.
00:05:22 up 47 days, 14:34, 1 user, load average: 2.00, 2.00, 2.00

It has been up much longer but last went down with a power outage.

Code:

$ uptime
 19:36:30 up 312 days, 19 min,  4 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

312 days ago there was a power out lasting longer than a couple of minutes.

My desktop never has an uptime more than a day.

I switch mine off at night, to stop the mice downloading porn.

Ok, it is not a Slackware machine, but does it count anyway?

Code:

 20:14:44 up 741 days,  7:56,  2 users,  load average: 0.01, 0.03, 0.00

Slackware 12.2.0
03:37:22 up 47 days, 15:04, 20 users

I nearly concluded we were in the same institute (because of the power loss 47 days ago) until
I saw you were in the UK.

I often power down my Desktop if I'm not using it, or out of town, and do't need to remote. My game server running Minecraft and Mumble/Murmur:

Code:

Linux beorn 2.6.37.6-smp #1 SMP Sat Apr 9 14:01:14 CDT 2011 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

22:10:00 up 46 days,  1:36,  1 user,  load average: 0.03, 0.07, 0.06

Haha, thank you for a good laugh kind Sir. Funny stuff, man!

Yeah, I don't build up any killer uptime either as I switch my units off at night as well.

chrisretusn · 07-11-2012, 12:41 AM

Don't care, uptime is not important to me.

a4z · 07-11-2012, 01:47 AM

Code:

 08:46:02 up 3 min,  4 users,  load average: 1.19, 0.69, 0.29

good morning :-)

Nine people found that helpful. LOL.
Does that mean lots of people have problems with mice downloading porn? Disgusting little critters!

My server, in sonic.net's santa rosa datacenter, running 13.1:

Code:

 07:55:45 up 357 days, 17:22, 19 users,  load average: 0.48, 0.24, 0.22

My laptop, also running 13.1:

Code:

 07:55:33 up 30 days, 20:23, 70 users,  load average: 0.05, 0.18, 0.16

I'd paste my workstation's uptime too, but it hasn't been running for a few weeks. It was more important when I was working from home, but less so now. During the day I go into the office (where we have to run Ubuntu), and when I get home I use my laptop so I can hang out with my wife.

Been thinking of overhauling it with 14.0, a new RAID array, and enough RAM to keep a few torrents running from /dev/shm (torrents are death on disks). Of course there's no point in buying the disks and RAM (which only go down in price, the longer I wait) until Pat & friends work out the bugs in 14.0, so in the meantime it remains dark.

Firewall - router machine with ten 1 gbps ports, with a couple of different 802.1Q bonded interfaces:

Code:

blackhole:~# cat /etc/slackware-version; uname -a; uptime
Slackware 11.0.0 (x86_64)
Linux blackhole 2.6.19.2-grsec #3 Sat Apr 28 20:37:38 PDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
 10:44:39 up 1461 days,  4:05,  5 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

It's been a great box. So much more versatile than some of the Cisco PIX and ASA units that we also have in service here.
