How many days has your webserver been up and running without a reboot?
 

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

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

somewhere between 360 and 390 days.

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...

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

A server that runs for 320 days is an insecure server :)

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.

amatuers

My friend's server been running for 500 + days now :P

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

One MILLION days.

no clue

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.

Fucking SWOIT homo

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

LOL. this is the funniest thing I have ever read. (not really, but it is pretty funny).

Well he is talking about a typical Corporate M$ network

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.

450 +

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)

I reboot every 90 days.

only a few days now....recently upgraded some security shit, etc...



:thumbsup :thumbsup

231 days :thumbsup (isprime running on freeBSD)

we have servers that have ran 500+ days and were secure, freeBSD owns you

long enough
