Uptime: 12 hours...

# uptime
 10:28am  up 12:30,  1 user,  load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00

... plus 497 days

... plus another 497 days

A Linux machine (100 MHz Pentium) I've been using for a nameserver has just rolled over the 497 day uptime counter twice: 

$ datemath 'today - ( 497 * 2 )'
10/24/2002

I wonder what I was doing then that forced a reboot?

You're not the Unix Wiz for nothing. Congratulations.

I have a Windows NT server that just went past 400 days and one that refuses to run for more than 21 days at a time.
