There used to be a site dedicated to collecting uptime from people's PCs/servers etc... It was called the uptime project (top result from Google search). The Wikipedia article on "Uptime" has the longest uptime at over 6 years (citing Uptime Project).

Some guy on IRC alleged he had a shell that'd been up for 700 days. He backed it up with multiple screenshots and photos, but IRC's never a reliable source of information

Am I the only person that tried clicking the X on the screenshot rather than the one on my browser?

linux can run for years, but makes you wonder, shouldn't you patch your kernel some time

We had a Novell 3.1 server with just over 1,200 days. But, it was not meant to last.

I maintained a site that ran old Sun equipment and there were 2 Ultra 2 servers they had that each had over 1500 days up. They were on private networks so no need for constant security updates, they were just serving one single application. I have seen quite a few HPUX and AIX boxes over 700+ days in the past.

When I worked for a retail store, our main server in the receiving area had a 3+ year uptime. I left about 5 years ago.. curious how long it did stay up.

When we've had these threads before I like to point people to:
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/today/top.avg.html
it is a chart of the top 50 alltime uptimes measured by netcraft, using data points spanning years of observations
look carefully,
Windows is the os in 7 out of 50 entries
FreeBSD is the os in 8 out of 50 entries
LINUX IS NOT ON THE LIST, 0 out of 50 entries
not one of the top 50 uptime boxes runs LINUX.
But, windows currently occupies positions #2(1711 days) and #4(1618 days)
The position #50 is 1228 days, so they have never seen a LINUX box in their survey which has been up more than 1227 days, otherwise it would be on the list.
max uptime on windows 2000/iis5 @ 593 days:
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?...atformlabs.com
the interruption in service on day 594 was due to the electrician unplugging the wrong cable.
the machine, nicknamed old grandpa is now retirededgedirector.com
