What's your uptime?

Just wondering what people's uptimes are with gentoo. My server is at 35 days or so right now (http://ithought.org/phpsysinfo/) and I know its not much, just wondering how long people here leave em up for.

( I know I have enough trouble not updating to the latest mm-sources. heh)

Reminds me of this script which integrates uptime with a few other things:

Code: Select all

$ cat geeklength 
#!/bin/sh
echo `uptime|grep days|sed 's/.*up \([0-9]*\) day.*/\1\/10+/'; cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep '^cpu MHz'|awk '{print $4"/30 +";}';free|grep '^Mem'|awk '{print $3"/1024/3+"}'; df -P -k -x nfs -x smbfs | grep -v '(1k|1024)-blocks' | awk '{if ($1 ~ "/dev/(scsi|sd)"){ s+= $2} s+= $2;} END {print s/1024/50"/15+70";}'`|bc|sed 's/\(.$\)/.\1cm/'

Don't worry - it doesn't do any harm - it returns a length in centimetres which you can use to, errrr, compare with other people...

My four machines score 79.5, 38.8, 36.7 and 22.7cm - fairly low I'm guessing. What do other people get?

for a second, I thought "wow, does it really relate to ... ?" (/me is looking down)
and then I came to my senses

because Ebrostig didn't post that comment

/me ducks and finds cover

77.6cm, 54.8cm, 30.5cm and "(standard_in) 1: parse error"

my server is a 42.8 and my desktop is 21.5.

apparently shorter is better. heh.

Well, if you read the script, I think longer is better. My slow P2-266 gets a much lower score than the dual-1GHz P3. It's based on other things like disk space, uptime, etc too.

ckdake · Post by **ckdake** » Wed Oct 29, 2003 6:02 am

yeah, I was just too lazy to read it. Server has lots more uptime and lots more hard drive, lots lots more in both areas actually. desktop is up to 32.3 at the moment

My score:

Code: Select all

(standard_in) 1: parse error

As you posted this script can you confim that longer is better? I think its that way around....

Cheers,

If you gradually split it into it's constituent parts you end up with this:

Remove |bc|sed.... at the end (which simply evaluates the following and adds 'cm' to it:

Code: Select all

20/10+ 1539.918/30 + 510596/1024/3+ 1526.18/15+70

It's fairly easy to break these bits into the code that generates them:

20/10+

Code: Select all

uptime|grep days|sed 's/.*up \([0-9]*\) day.*/\1\/10+/'

This extracts the number of days in your uptime, and divides by 10, so larger is better.

1539.918/30

Code: Select all

cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep '^cpu MHz'|awk '{print $4"/30 +";}'

This gets your CPU speed and divides by 30, so larger is better.

510596/1024/3

Code: Select all

free|grep '^Mem'|awk '{print $3"/1024/3+"}'

This gets your memory stats and extracts the third column (which is 'Mem: used'). Divides by 1024 to get kilobytes and then divides by 3, so larger is better (if you permit the idea that the more ram you are using, the bigger a geek you are...)

1526.18/15+70

Code: Select all

df -P -k -x nfs -x smbfs | grep -v '(1k|1024)-blocks' | awk '{if ($1 ~ "/dev/(scsi|sd)"){ s+= $2} s+= $2;} END {print s/1024/50"/15+70";}'

This one is a bit trickier - it gets your current disk usage (in number of kilobyte sized blocks) ignoring nfs and samba mounts. The grep is a bug by the looks - it's meant to eliminate the column headings but it doesn't seem to work (I didn't write the script btw). The awk bit checks the first column and if it matches a scsi device it adds up the total disk space of that device. Divide that by 1024 then again by 50, add 70, and you're done. Again, larger is, arguably, better.

These terms are all added together. So, in conclusion, I would have to say that a larger value is indeed 'better' assuming you apply the same importance to each factor as I have done.

Thanks for such a brillient reply

Also have you looked at this yet? I only noticed it today.
http://uptimes.hostingwired.com/

My box is running on about 7days at the minute! not a lot, but i did a clean reinstall last week, and only rebooted once after building onto another partition

http://uptimes.hostingwired.com/account ... s&hid=8059

EDIT: Oh and my current measurment is 22.9cm !

EDIT{2}:
Currently a lot less and also tracked on:
http://uptimes.lockedbox.net

My uptime(at post 55mins & 22.8cm):

Humm this geek lengh seems almost static when i run it?! odd.

My uptime is 1/0. I dare any of you to beat that.

I shut my computer off every night. I can't sleep with it on after hearing it all day.

meowsqueak · Post by **meowsqueak** » Fri Nov 07, 2003 12:09 am

That's precisely why I watercooled my PC - I have to listen very carefully to tell if it's even on (when the monitor is off, of course).

st589 · Post by **st589** » Fri Nov 07, 2003 12:16 am

I should do that. It would be great to have a silent PC.

SavageMindz · Post by **SavageMindz** » Fri Nov 07, 2003 1:12 am

Desktop is 47.6cm with an uptime of just over a day.
Server is 92.2cm with an uptime of 36 days.

think the longest the server was up was 125 days before I finally had to do a kernel upgrade.

56.6cm

almost no uptime (reboot for mm-sources

)

*Sigh* ... Only 3 days uptime since I upgraded the CPU fan... Still a rather nice score.. Much due to 510GB of disk space...

It was used mem it looked at, right? My 1GB isn't up to that ammount in only 3 days... I guess I'll have to be contempt with the low length.

uptime
17:59:26 up 3 days, 15 min, 8 users, load average: 0.03, 0.09, 0.09
geeklength
97.7cm

Edit:
BTW, the average uptime seems to suck... Hell, i even managed 2+ months uptime with Windows XP before I decided to upgrade video drivers. Not that it ran programs anywhere stable during that time, but at least no reboot.

i reboot for love-sources.

Sancho666 · Post by **Sancho666** » Fri Nov 14, 2003 10:48 am

why is my server only 13.0cm, while uptime says 35 days?

mkay, I got it: the hdd, ram and cpu speed are to few

important isn't only time qantity...

so then, lets find some BIG drives

lol i currently shut off my gentoo box every night because the processor fan is flaky. (Ordered a bunch of new fans, didn't get here yet)

Clete2 · Post by **Clete2** » Tue Dec 09, 2003 3:27 am

uh 2 hours... I reboot for Windows games a lot... But I'm currently doing about this usage:

90% Linux (Gentoo 2.6-test11)
10% Windows 98 SE

I play the Linux games a lot more now than I used to.

EDIT: That makes 402 posts
