[Titan:~] phill% uptime
5:16AM up 2 days, 10:32, 5 users, load averages: 0.43, 0.39, 0.33
One of the routers on my network:
rtrbone.gw uptime is 16 weeks, 13 hours, 21 minutes
System returned to ROM by reload at 10:51:47 EST Tue Dec 4 2001
System restarted at 15:58:03 EST Wed Dec 11 2002
Our syslog server has done pretty well:
sentry2:~phill% uptime
5:20am up 85 days, 21:21, 3 users, load average: 0.25, 0.33, 0.29

Re: Uptime - How long has your Mac been running?
I'm only just getting used to sleeping my mac so it's uptime isn't very noteworthy (up since yesterday
)
But my Novell server here at home has been going strong since I applied SP2 for Netware 6

i remember my grandpa telling me about a guy who was pissed off at his Linux Club meeting because he had to restart his linux server box after 576 days' uptime when the power went out. tsk!

I keep my ibook sleeping while i sleep
It takes far too long to boot up normally.
Would performance increase after a reboot because of clearing the RAM / pageouts?

in a word, no.
you need to run macJanitor regularly (check versiontracker), or you can run
sudo sh /etc/daily
sudo sh /etc/weekly
sudo sh /etc/monthly
as often as you like. it really frees up ram. whenever it doesn't free up enough, i relogout/in and that does the trick.
Between QT 6.1.1 and ARD 1.2 I've had to restart everything lately...nothing special from me.
With 10.2.5 in the works soon it'll be tough to keep machines up for very long without another reboot.

That's why I have an APC smart-UPS 1000 even at home. It has saved me a couple of times in the past, keeping everything running while the power failed or while we had to disconnect the power to rewire some things. Otherwise the uptime on my Novell server wouldn't be so high
You can get a secondhand APC Smart-UPS here for around 100 Euro's so it's not even extremely expensive. I'm even consierering getting a 3000VA model and just connect all the rest of my equipment as well, to protect against lightning and peaks.
Last year I was doing maintenance to the system of a client and with pain in my heart I had to reboot their Netware 4.11 server that had been up for 463 days. Really it broke my heart.

The great thing about a laptop is that you have a built in UPS. It is great at work, when I am working on my PB with external 21" monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Power flickers, and I am still in business, while I hear groans around me.

I know. The battery on my WinXP laptop, that I have for work, has saved me a couple of times.
But running my server on a laptop too, just to have the built in UPS would seem a bit strange
The power in my neighborhood isn't steady enough to keep my computer running for more than a few weeks. I always leave my computer on, but sometimes when I come home it's off and all the clocks are flashing....
So my record is about 3 weeks.

If I were you I would buy some secondhand big UPS (or a couple of APC smart-UPS 3000 models or something like that). And just put you're whole house on them.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Uptime - How long has your Mac been running?
personally, i prefer just a laptop; then you get a UPS built in, so to speak--3 hours duration, hehe.
by the way, moving up:
[Shadowfax:~] mithrandir% uptime
3:19PM up 21 days, 21:14, 3 users, load averages: 2.29, 1.97, 1.55

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Uptime - How long has your Mac been running?
But having a working laptop that can't access my files when the power fails, isn't very handy. So I use the APC Smart UPS 1000 to protect my Novell server, broadband router, switch and ISDN stuff down in the basement.
