That's a long time to go without a reboot (and I probably needed a few kernel updates by then). I was in the process of migrating web sties from that server to a new server when the UPS's battery failed and my co-workers unplugged the thing in a panic. It was still getting power, but the low-battery warning was beeping. At that point all I wanted was to get to 1000 days uptime and they dashed my hopes with the yank of a power cord... _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
