How many days has your webserver been up and running without a reboot? - GoFuckYourself.com

Penn E. Less · 08-21-2003, 10:03 PM

One of our webservers has been up over 320 days so far without a reboot.

KingK7 · 08-21-2003, 10:09 PM

I had one going for around 400 days once I think, till I retired it.
My host was almost reluctant to take it down.

liquidmoe · 08-21-2003, 10:09 PM

somewhere between 360 and 390 days.

InsaneGreen · 08-21-2003, 10:11 PM

i ran mine for 11 months until it shut itself down... i didnt know i was supposed to reboot it. i thought they did it for me...

Bucho · 08-21-2003, 11:31 PM

i always find these threads quite funny - dont you guys update your kernels?

A server that runs for 320 days is an insecure server

4Pics · 08-22-2003, 01:38 AM

300 something, I accidently rebooted it when I thought I was rebooting a different server... opps

Well if nobody messes with the server why not let it run.

Nobody can say a windows box ran for that long without rebooting.

PbG · 08-23-2003, 10:12 PM

40 Days and 40 nights . . . and yes we do keep our kernel up2date

com · 08-23-2003, 10:50 PM

One MILLION days.

In the world of adult webmasters and system admins, you often find individuals bragging about "uptime".

You'll never see this is a corporate IT setting.

Besides Kernel upgrades, systems should be rebooted on a scheduled basis, at least monthly.

The reason is to prove it can be rebooted. I can't tell you in the old days how often we'd reboot a system that had been up for 15 months, only to scramble because an upgrade done a year ago (and now a distant memory) broke something.

My servers have been up about 40 days; whenever it gets to 60 I find an excuse to reboot them for safety.

I never reboot mine unless I'm doing an update, but have no idea what the longest time was

No, not M$ - I spent around 20 years in corporate IT ranging from CIO to consulting, programming director, etc. Few M$ machines as they haven't made much of a presense yet in big company server rooms. Mostly mainframe, VAX and Alphas, SUN, etc.

You get used to a certain level of professionalism that is just absent from adult - things like backups, documentation, frequent server rebooting, etc.

But as adult consolidates I am seeing more and more some professionalism creep in, and I expect that large sucessful adult enterprises will slowly adopt IT safeguards such as making sure systems aren't up too long without a restart.

I can... I just put .net server 2003 on my server which had been running .net beta since 2001. Running the beta, it would go months without a reboot, and when I did reboot it, it was to install something.
One of the processors blew up last week so I finally decided to go ahead and update the OS.

You mean lack of professionalism?
Regular server rebooting means you are doing something wrong.

(You should know if your upgrade could possibly mess up the boot)

Joe_Blow · 08-24-2003, 11:10 AM

I reboot every 90 days.

TheJimmy · 08-24-2003, 11:16 AM

strobi · 08-24-2003, 11:23 AM
