However, this beats all of them:
Uptime is 1048 days, 12 hours, 12 minutes
cat6500-1>
This is a Catalyst 6506 switch ...
Somehow an embeded box that doesn't have to run arbitrary and buggy
programs seems like cheating! Here's the uptime on a old VAXstation
just before a scheduled power outage:
$ sho sys
VAX/VMS V6.1 on node BUMMER 10-MAY-2002 16:02:42.38 Uptime 1099 02:42:54
1099 days. Admittedly it spends most of it's time sitting quietly in a corner.
Looking at:
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/today/top.avg.html
The top 3 current entries appear to show 1500+ The top is 1751 on a
BSD/OS system. The FAQ indicates they can't detect more than 497 days
of uptime on some operating systems.
Another site is:
http://www.uptimes.nu/index.php?area=statistics
But the highest uptime is suspect: "31y 335d 20h 15m (FreeBSD 4.8-RC)"
since FreeBSD 4.8 came out within the last year!
