I'm running a Linux machine at work ( very sucessfully I might add! ) that basically is an automated FTP server to get weather maps from the TV weatherman's SGI network and FTP 'em to the tv stations website. I checked the machine Monday, seeing that today ( Friday ) would be the machines 500th day of uptime. So I went in there today to gloat at it and it had an uptime of 3 days.!! WHAT this cannot be!! It seems not to have rebooted, since gnome was running with the exact 2 desktops ( one TOP, the other a terminal ) open as they were. If this machine would have rebooted I would expected to see the GUI login screen running.. I did "uptime" 3 days as well. I searched in /var/logs and found the file which contains the boot up log.. Date on is was Sept. 27, 1999. So I cannot see where the machine rebooted, crashed and the graphix on the website never hiccupped, they are updated every 10 minutes with timestamps placed on them with the SGI's creation of the graphx.. Anyone know WHY this is.. I was really bummed. It says 3 days uptime but I'm convinced it's 500.. Thanks Alan
