Ha! What on earth were you doing?
#That's got to be some kind of record.
#Wow, that's a long time to stay awake... Maybe you should switch to decaf?
#My guess: a broken apache configuration on dslreports caused it to keep on respawning on every connection request.
#Nah.. nothing so bad as that.. Just a simple wedged cron job.
#alan@master:~$ uptime
11:12:14 up 147 days, 20:16, 74 users, load average: 0.69, 0.93, 1.09
Still a bit low on both cases :)
#The point of Kasia's post was the load average, not the length of uptime but what the heck. On an old Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 5.6:
->uptime
11:21am up 1035 day(s), 16:54, 5 users, load average: 1.09, 1.04, 1.03
I wish people could've seen the old pop server at the ISP I work for -- a SunFire 6800 with 24 CPUs and 18 gigs/ram. We would regularly see it at a sustained load of 40, with an uptime well over a year. Ah, the delights of running qpopper for >100k users. :)
I hate it when I get my cron wedged.
Every now and then I'll get runaway processes on my boxes (especially this Debian box) and I'll show loadavgs that are in the hundreds as well.. fun for all! (especially trying to get contrl of your computer back)
