uptime

They’re powering-off the lab at the weekend, but having achieved 365.2422+ days of uptime, I felt that that our firewall’s achievement was worth recording:

fox $ uname -a
SunOS fox 5.8 Generic_108528-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine
fox $ uptime
  3:20pm up 365 day(s), 4 hr(s), 2 users, load average: 0.04, 0.05, 0.05

…I’ve seen higher, but not often outside a production scenario with UPS and so forth.

    You mean “keep a machine not very busy?”

    Yes, in this case; it’s a firewall, and does not have to do much, but we keep it as a standalone machine to assure the simplicity of management and configuration. It is wise not to double-up the roles of security hardware unless absolutely necessary.
