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?
