RH 6.0 of course the jiffy counter had wrapped a couple of times, but you could still verify the boot time by looking at the timestamp on the /var/log/dmesg file. Linux 2.6 has *finally* gotten a 64-bit jiffy counter; so we can more readily compare our uptime to the FreeBSD folks. This is one of the points where FreeBSD was clearly superior to Linux. It's good to see we now have a bit more bragging-rights parity. :) Carl Soderstrom -- Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
