how long has is been turned on?... i'm on my laptop right now and its been turned on for 85 hours, 35 minutes.... (should be longer.. but my dumb roomate turned off my computer a few days ago when i was at dinner )
i'm curious to see how long other AT'ers go before they turn off their computers.

and i guess i should add this-- what OS are you using? i've got win2k on all my computers.
 
My computers have an uptime of one month and that's only because I break everything down for cleaning once a month
 
My current uptime is 8 days, 13 hrs, 23 mins, 47 secs. But, that's just the last time I rebooted. I haven't turned off my computer in over a month since the holiday break.
 
My Linux router has been running for well over three months (after the power was cut off). My Windows (2k) box been running 24/7 for more than a month now.
 
My work computer that I am posting from right now, has been logged on since 2/5/2002 at 12:00PM. I think that was for a reboot to install a web cam with a capture card. This is on Windows 2000.


Our Windows NT 4.0 Workstation that acts as a file server, has been up since 12/22/01 at 12:42PM. And our Windows NT Server machine that is a file server, as well as running SQL Server, has been up since 12/4/01 at 1:23PM. I think those reboots were to add ram to each, they would be up longer. That's pretty good.
 
Main Win2K machine: about 3 weeks with occasional reboots.
Newly received (for free 🙂) Win2K machine: about 1 week, no reboot.
Emachine on Win2K: Can't stay on for more than 30 minutes.
 
the longest I can think of that's it's been on striaght is about.... 4 months. Win2k and NT keep a timer of idle time I once looked at it and it said something like 9999:99:00

That's cheating a little. I was kind of surprised that all of our other UNIX systems have been down recently for one reason or another. My server at home has only been up a couple of days as well. It is freshly rebuilt and I'm still working the kinks out of it. Not sure about my work PC. I think I had to reboot it earlier this week. It's Win 98SE and after a couple of weeks it just has to be rebooted.
 


<< how long has your computer been turned on? >>



Ever since I put the Dark Angel poster next to it 😀

Sorry, the longest was about 36 hours...
 
I had a Linux server used solely for packet forwarding/ip masq. Anyway, over the course of several weeks the HD started making strange grinding noises. I would power it off and let it sit for a while and when booted, it would be fine for a while. One time I was listening to the grinding and it got really bad. So bad, in fact, that I heard the HD stop and spin down. I opened the and sure enough, the HD was stopped!!! Anyway, I tested it and it was still forwarding packets. So I told my roommates never to power down the Linux box because I didn't think it would come back up.

When I had to leave school for the summer, I had to power it down. It had been running for over 100 days w/o a working HD. Everything was in RAM, and it was fine. When I plugged it in again, the HD didn't work.

So the long answer to the question was over 100 days w/o a reboot.
