I am always proud of my raspberrypi server at home. Its long uptime is almost 4 months!
[pi@rbp1]~$ uptime
15:31:17 up 114 days, 4:21, 2 users, load average: 0.42, 0.23, 0.17
show me yours!
I sometimes noticed for long uptimes (like more then a year), the uptime command shows an exclamation mark. However, I cannot find a threshold or even the code for the exclamation mark at <a href="http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=blob;f=src/uptime.c;h=c0869dbc4f939e65ea967b8ba840010e9009e40b;hb=HEAD" rel="nofollow">http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=blob;f...</a> -- does anybody have an idea about that?<p>Is the exclamation mark intended to warn the admin to reboot (since there might be an updated kernel, etc.), or does the system wow itself? ;-)
Once upon a time it was a mark of pride to have a long uptime. My record was six months plus one day. Why did I reboot? Because I needed to upgrade my system.<p>Then I realised that big uptimes were a <i>bad</i> sign, that they signified a system that hadn't been kept up to date and was vulnerable.
