2^32 and divide by 100. That is the number of seconds until 32-bit os's flip. 2^32 and divide by 8640000 and that is the number of days, which is 497. My server at work went 587 days until i decided to reboot it since it runs a critical piece of software and i though i should "refresh" the OS (note that i say refresh, not reboot. hehe). Longest I've seen is an AIX DNS server go about 1100 days before losing power (ups failed too). I hope they fix the 497 day counter in linux kernels soon by using a floating point number instead--at least for us uptime freaks. :) At 03:50 PM 4/19/01 -0500, you wrote: >It's close to flipping over.
