to save money at the colo, desa's brother machine (ka-boom.bignoise.us) is getting decommissioned... I believe ka-boom has the longest uptime of any box I've ever personally worked on, rolling over its jiffies counter 95 days ago, putting him at 592+ days.
root@ka-boom:~# ps auxf | head -2
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 1 0.0 0.0 1272 484 ? S Aug30 10:03 init [2]
that's august of 2004. and now:
root@ka-boom:~# uptime; halt
08:17:36 up 95 days, 8:37, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.15, 0.28
Broadcast message from root (pts/0) (Sat Dec 3 08:17:36 2005):
The system is going down for system halt NOW!
root@ka-boom:~# Connection to ka-boom.bignoise.us closed by remote host.
Connection to ka-boom.bignoise.us closed.
[Process exited - exit code 255]
I think that's pretty cool. and this is the part where ka-boom gets one-upped repeatedly in comments, but that's ok, too.
