What is your uptime

[owise1]

Post your uptime - this PC that gets used by the whole family for email, browsing, WP and TV has a mean time between re-boots that is the same time as the time between blachouts from the electricty supplier. Tough as nails!

Longest time I've been up with Ubuntu is 10 days, which is like 9 more days than I could ever have the computer running without rebooting when using Windows XP.

I'm planning to go for a record any one of these days.

[Johnsie]

I dont have a high uptime on any of my machines:

I'm testing Gutsy on my laptop and the Kernel is being updated regularly.

On my server I had to reboot because I was having some problems with something in /etc/rc2.d slowing the system down and wanted to find out what it was. I still dont know what it was because I got fed up trying and just got rid of all the files I didn't use.

My desktop should arrive sometime today... woop woop!! :-)

Keep in mind that Ubuntu has two users everytime a terminal is open

one using gnomne session(or w/e de you use)

other is using terminal

This desktop is a bit noisy, and sits 10 ft away from my bed, so I turn it off at night. Even when I had a file server set up with Ubuntu 6.10 server it only stayed on ~35 days at the most. 647 days is incredible, I thought only dedicated rack servers ever got left on like that.

Had to replace UPS batteries, couldn't stand the beeping. Older UPS didn't support hot-swapping of batteries so I had to bring her down. Of course 155 updates were applied and it booted and ran fine for 205 days so far.

While not wanting to hi-jack the thread I feel I need to mention that there is NO REASON to have your PC on 24/7 for most users. Please think and consider the threat from global warming. Apart from my freezer and fridge, I power down all other electrical items. there's no need for a TV/DVD etc to be on standby.

An additonal benefit is that I have reduced my power bills by 35% over the last 6 months. So come on guys and girls, all I ask is that you think!

inspite of the very low usage i'm still worried about the the electrical usage. This machine is old, like 8 years, but what machines are the best, in terms of electrical usage?

I have heard about the low voltage G-pc, at wal-mart, but i want to upgrade my server to a super low power usage machine... what machines would work for me?

That's why you need a second comp. :)

I've also noticed that people have large uptimes but rather poor load average (at least in last 15mins), it would be nice if you participate in some BOINC project like einstein@home or other nonboinc projects like folding@home to contribute to society in one more way.

Find me a standard (as in non-clustered) windows server thats been up 361 consecutive days with an average of 21 people working on it at a given time. These kinds of real world statistics always put any Microsoft published metric I see about windows server being superior to *nix into perspective for me. In ten years of windows administration, I've never seen it done. :-D

Edit #2.

The only reason that solaris box @ 241 days had to go down is because we had to physically add an additional NIC to it.

[oldsoundguy]

You mean TURNED ON, I believe .. and I stated .. since October when I installed Gutsy with the exception of a couple of re boots for hardware changes. (new Video card for one) and to re-set the wireless when the access point crashed .. and that goes for THREE computers.

I never shut them off as I run BOINC on them.

Oh, and when I mounted a new DVI KVM switch between my main Gutsy box and a Windows box. Had to shut it down then (the power) in order to get the wireless kb & mouse working.

david_lynch -> That's some impressive uptime.

Mine is in comparison not that impressive but nevertheless my primary Ubuntu web server has an uptime of 270 days and the network PFSense gateway has na uptime of 287 days of uptime. (I made 2 screen shots)
The gateway way setup first and the server a few days later.
But fortunately I fear that both of them are going to go down soon since I think they might migrate onto ESXi so I'll probably be starting with zero. :(

I always shut my PC off when I'm done with it to conserve electricity.

I think mine's been on for two hours now, but that was just a reboot for the video driver. I've been using it for about... 11 1/2 hours now. Wow, I just realized the immensity of that number.

[plun]

Well....

After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to effect the necessary changes.

This is my uptime. I've been downloading a game and some movies with Vuze. I left my desktop switched on and left home 6 days ago n just got back. I'd switched off the monitor so that even if there is a power outtage, the UPS would hold out a little longer until the power came back. Looks like the plan worked.:p

What I'm thinking is- Is it okay to keep a PC to be up and running for so long without a break? Don't the components overheat and undergo a lot of wear and tear and all that? I know servers can stay up for really really long times. But then they are designed for that purpose aren't they?

The network must have dropped out on my server the other day. It wouldn't respond to ping requests and nmap showed no ports open on it. So I rebooted the system from the power switch, read the logs and couldn't find anything that was wrong with it. Hopefully it won't happen again. So, my server's uptime has been lost, but mine is still running steady:

[siloko]

I had this 'issue'. I'm not sure if it is a bug but when you log in through tty1-6 at any time rather than via Gnome Terminal/ssh then logging out always seems to leave a stray <legitimate*> user - I resolved it by <as root>:

rm /var/run/utmp
touch /var/run/utmp
chmod 644 /var/run/utmp

then logout all terminal/ssh sessions and login again using gnome terminal or ssh - the correct users should be shown. If you login again directly via tty1-6 then the problem will reappear.

*this is almost impossible to be absolutley sure about. Checkout the output of last, w, uptime, users, and who. Make sure you are generally happy with what they tell you!

I guess you don't run many servers -

"why wasn't our e-commerce site available last night?"
"O don't worry I shut the server down to conserve energy!"
"Why on earth did you do that?"
"So I could post witty comments on ubuntuforums.org!"

I rent servers, its so inexpensive that I see no reason to run my own. Further, I obviously did not mean servers; its really not complimentary too you that you did not understand that.

My uptime for all of my Linux systems is always pretty low because I turn them off to save power.

My family's main computer, however, is always left on. (I don't agree with this decision, but it isn't my computer.)

According to the Network Connection Status dialog, the current uptime for our Gateway running Windows XP Home Edition SP3 is -

12 days, 18:54:14

The system generally reboots only when I run updates on it (Windows Update or other program updates that require reboot). I've seen its uptime go beyond 20 days on occasion.

[joshuapbell]

If this doesn't belong here feel free to delete it, just a question of curiosity really.

I have often times heard that maintaining Ubuntu Systems are often times cheaper, because:

The lack of virus', mal-ware and other malicious software that often infect Windows Computers

Updates/software installs often do not require restarts after being installed, often times Windows forces the user to restart after install updates, and often times new software.

Reason number 2 is what I would really like to look at so if you could open your terminal and type the word "uptime" without the quotes, and then paste the results I would appreciate it. I would like to compare this to the average uptime of various Windows Machines on another board. Thanks!

Also, my current uptime is 12:04:40 up 1 day, 4:51, 3 users, load average: 1.61, 1.52, 1.42

[QIII]

You may have heard somewhat wrong. Updates to new kernels, among other things, often do require a restart to use them. Video drivers likewise. Some updates to installed software do not. But the same is true for some software in Windows. I don't really think there is any particular advantage here.

Uptime may or may not be something you will get a huge number of responses on. I've left machines running for weeks. These days, however, I typically I shut down at night for the same reasons I would shut down Windows: Electrical bill and limiting mileage on some of the hardware.

But if you do want to get in what we used to call a <Vulgar term for the male genitalia> Measuring Contest with someone, you can CTRL+SHIFT+C to copy stuff out of the terminal. That contest is really not terribly important for a home user.

Uptime for people running production servers might be interesting, but I'm not sure they are hanging out here.

I am not looking to get into a contest or make one... I just want some unofficial numbers to compare... and I understand that Linux(Ubuntu in this case) does sometimes require restarts... and Yes I understand that it will differ depending on the user... I have Windows Machines at work that stay on for months at a time, because they are Servers... I am just trying to do some very unofficial data mining... and if you are not okay with that... well then I don't know what to tell you.

[QIII]

Didn't say I wasn't OK with that.

[joshuapbell]

Didn't say I wasn't OK with that.

You sure made it sound like it.

[QIII]

No. What I made it sound like was that my opinion is that it might not be of much value. You can do what you want.

Just bear in mind that your data will be tainted by what is known as "Referral Bias" or "Volunteer Bias".

Dunno, about 5 months? It's a file server for a small business. Unlike it's Windows predecessor, it's never crashed or had to be rebooted except when I do it deliberately.

Since May, I think I shut it down twice.

[freebeer]

I had a session going for 187 days (when I happened to take a look at it). Several weeks later we had a power failure. But generally the machine just runs except for power failures and updates when I choose to do them.

My Windows server is run similarly, but it will get messed up once in a while and require a reboot or Windows pushes a "required update" (against my wishes) and resets it again.

My uptime right now is 20 Days 2:37. My All time highest uptime is 52 days when I finally decided to restart to boot into the new kernel from the update. I had actually never booted into one of the kernel updates. When I used to use Windows I'd be damned if I could go 2 or 3 days without its performance became unbearable (though it was Vista). Especially after a number of updates the system started to feel unstable. In Ubuntu I'd get hundreds of updates, even those that require restart and it would still run completely well even after 52 days. I even had virtual machines running at the time, one of them over the entire 52 days only shut down for a few seconds to restart it here and there. Its great.

[johntaylor1887]

Uptime? It's usually never more than 24-48 hours. I install on a lot of computers and need my main screen for that reason. (I don't test on small screens) I have 1 place where I have my main computer, but it's set up to be able to accommodate other computers. Uptime is irrelevant here. ;)

But it's always cool when you hear about servers that are going on 3 years.

[Sporkman]

...or Windows pushes a "required update" (against my wishes)

That sucks.

[Khakilang]

I think uptime is more relevant to server than desktop. Sometime I off my pc 2 or 3 time a day and seldom leave it on overnight unless I am downloading something.

Laptop - Ubuntu 10.10

Load average is lower now. I always wondered why Fedora/Ubuntu seem to always have an average between 0.40-1.0 even when idle. Debian tells me 0.00 0.00 0.01 or something when it is idle. I suppose it has to be a fluke as they both have around the same workload and services.

I've looked and I can't seem to find anything, the last time I looked a sun server was at the top of the list with 6-7 years!

[Old_Grey_Wolf]

I depends on what the computer is used for.

Laptops may have up-times of a few hours.

Desktops can have up-times of a day or longer.

Servers can have up-times of months or years. That all depends on the policy for installing kernel updates, if power outages occur, and if they have backup power or not, etc.

Without knowing the purpose of the computer, or the policies for updating the computer, the up-time numbers don't mean a lot.

My longest ever known uptime was on RedHat 7, a headless server which saw usually light but daily use. It saw 771 days of uptime before it had problems, which is about 25.33 months.

There was one system which was up longer and locked up solid, before I thought to check uptime. That system died a few days before the one I just mentioned.

FWIW I was an uptime junkie until then. I had my desktop machine running for months at a time, always trying for a higher "score." The 25 month box did not come up after I rebooted. I never got it to boot after that, and basically re-installed the OS and scavenged the files off the hard drive on a different system.

The system had gone through sporadic updates, only not accepting kernel upgrades and core packages so as to increase the uptime. I forced upgrade of "non-core" packages while keeping the core ones back. What I hadn't realized at the time was that the running software uses the originally loaded library as long as the app is running, and when you restart the libraries aren't necessarily compatible with each other.

Not much, but my 'server' is actually Ubuntu 10.04 Server LTS running in VirtualBox on my iMac, which since the kids use it they trip the power cord all too often :-/ So it gets rebooted often.

We did have a DEC Alpha at my former work running Red Hat 7.1 IIRC that had an update of almost four years when I left that company about 6 years ago. It was our FTP server and ran like a champ! I'm not sure if it's still around though, be wicked if it were.

I'm quite proud this time, actually. I believe it's the first time in my entire life that I've managed to pull the system steady for over a year. The machine itself is very reliable. It's a laptop, actually. It's a "IBM Thinkpad X30" (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,544117,00.asp) with (as you can see) a 1,2GHz (Pentium III) CPU and 512MiB of RAM. The machine was very top notch (and expensive) back when it hit the market. Today you can probably get one reasonable cheap from eBay. I use it mainly for server purposes. Power consumption is moderate.

Cheers!
