Time to upgrade to latest source..

:confused:

100 days? and? :D

Can you provider do "what"? Maintain an uptime up to or over 100 days? I imagine most can.

Most can't

Really? That's not a good sign, but I suppose it's not exactly a bad sign either. Most providers I've seen or worked with, often have around ~45 day uptimes before they reboot. Out of them, a lot go over 100 days, and the one's that reboot at around 45 days are usually because some monkey tech thought the load was too high and a reboot would be a solution (rather than finding the problem and fixing it).

Sure...

Thats easy...

pfft! I can do better than that!

[root@server root]# uptime
11:57pm up way more than DanielP's days.

=P

Uh hu... when did we change time so that a smaller number got to be bigger than a bigger number? heheh ;)

Thats not my virtual boxes I'm afraid... I rebooted those about 2 weeks ago when I made some kernel modifications.. but they are just as stable :)

Being up for over 100 days is the easy part. Being up for over 100 days while ensuring the latest security patches and upgrades are put into production is another story :rolleyes:

Uptime is GREAT! Too much 'actual uptime' can be a sign of a different type of problem though (not keeping your servers up to date). There has to be a happy medium in expectations as far as uptime is concerned...

True, but other than kernel updates or patches and a few other things, most don't require a reboot. I guess it all depends on the risk and what it at hand.

Linux box:

root@mooneer [~]# w

FreeBSD running in a VMWare on the Linux box:

Suck Ass Host - We suck and we care.

Stop showing off Samuel :D

SAH is a force to be wreckoned with, you need to "Recognize!"

LOL . Your SAH company policies are groundbreaking. I want a site like that :D

But then again, how can I possibly follow your lead - just too inovative! :eek3:

mlovick, I really would hate to be banned by advertising but you are welcome to contact me in the supplied means.

Tripanelsuckhost.com ?, then we can go from there, payment is up front, and non refundable, and you must sign over your car.

OK Samuel, thanks... I am thinking about it er.. do you accept post dated cheques? (Im a bit skint this month).

Or perhaps I can offer you a new cisco router as a part-ex? Or is cisco out of SAH class ;)

2950 used will do =), and a couple giga cards tee hee, I know I shouldnt be offering this for soooooooo low, but hey!, its christmas!

:nuts:

No problem - I can get a horse and cart to deliver it for you. How quick can you have the acount setup - 1.. 2.. 3.. months .. years .. decades, just a ball park will do Im not desperate ;)

ermmm, I think setups are taking, checking...


Depending on the amount paid up front, and the quality of packaging, your ability to skip trace people, your general intelligence level, gulabillity factor... hrmm, probally 4 months, but if you throw in a 73 gb scsi drive I think I can knock it down to 2 months), depends on your answer (Sorry CLocker =))

Hey - why dont you use the blink tag on your web site - that would just finnish it off fine.

Big deal my friend, our uptime is 478days. Drool on that!

Well, you hopefully better not be running such an old kernel that allows anyone access other than people you can trust, and isn't exploitable by other means with programs/services that run on it, or other such things. I don't suggest people get upgrade happy and always use the newest stuff, but if your last reboot was that long ago, than even if your kernel was upgraded that day, it's got to be ready for the rest home by now. :-)

Ah.. Good 'ol 2host to bring some reality back into the conversation ;)

Well done!

I reckon.. lol

And 1 visitor (local terminal) over the last year, right? :-)

We had almost that same amount of uptime (230+ days) on a server until a month ago. It had over 140 accounts on it when the reboot was needed. It's now been running over a month without a problem.

Well, 1 to 2 users, but all via SSH. The server is with Pwebtech.

well... not a lot... :stickout
it was 45 days after the upgrade to 2.4.18-10 kernel :rolleyes:

how can you run a 200 days old kernel? ... my good... with all this exploits out there... :D

so... what's your IP? ... :dgrin:

Regards.

The question i've got is why can sharpnet get a 100 day uptime, but not get ssh or ftp working on cobra.sharpnet.net or ftp working on pointy.sharpnet.net or identd working on both of them combined (for the last 3 weeks)? :confused: :laugh:. Went to go get my files before my account was deleted for speaking the truth about sharpnet, and found none of the services were up, preventing me from getting my userfiles, etc. :rolleyes:.

Personally i prefer a box with a 25 day uptime if it can keep ftpd and sshd running :D.

Haha :D, well hey, what can i say :), its a weak self promotion thread, and i just couldn't resist. I wonder if i denied users all access to backups/files and provided a bad service if they'd keep their mouths shut hoping to someday recover their data :laugh:.

Porcupine,

You truly make me sick. This is the reason I banned you from my channel and I haven't deleted your accounts yet.

All of our services have been up, it's true ident was up and down but it was because people kept flooding it.. big deal.. You really need a life man. All you do is try to put people down..

Love the quote... of yourself.... 5 minutes prior.

The services have not been up, why would i report it if they had been. And after multiple users kept harassing me, i did go and check on identd, it wasn't getting flooded, as it wasn't up, the port was closed :eek: unless you shutdown the deamon for 3 weeks due to a flood, but on a irc shellbox, if you dont have identd, you dont have connectivity, its like shutting down httpd on a webhosting server.

I'm glad i make you sick devon, because your business practises as of late make me feel the same way, gotta love the "if you had a server with us, your hdd would already be fixed" yet you left people down for days and days when you were colo'ing them out off your T1 :laugh:.

.

.... you were reimbursed... were the customers? The ones that moved to us claimed not to have been, on top of having to pay around $150 for shipping of their servers :eek:.

BTW, doesen't matter whose fault it is, 99.9% uptime is 99.9%, if its not your faul that sucks, but telling people "why go with other hosts that will give you crap when you can get worldcom bandwidth with 99.99% uptime?!" when you cant stick to that.... well i shouldn't have to spell out the issue. Downtime is downtime, im sure you dont hear worldcom going "but its not our fault, go ask mother nature for your money back, she made that storm!".
