How long is the longest time your computer has been running continuously?

For my two computers:

Server
code:
[john@nxor stats]$ uprecords
     #               Uptime | System                                     Boot up
----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------

----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------


And workstation
code:
[john@saxifrage ~]$ uprecords
     #               Uptime | System                                     Boot up

The workstation gets restarted more often for kernel updates and hacking. Also there are apparently some issues with kernel updates that tend to result in many many restarts to get things working Sad

So, what's your uptime?

I don't have uprecords install on the server or my workstation but i think thats the longest, i am going for a year Wink.

My workstation is a laptop so it gets turned on and off alot so not realy point in posting that one.

Personally, my only machine currently in use is my macbook. It gets a full workday's worth of uptime before being shut down and taken home.

My uptime record is only 18 days and a few hours...

California server (my business)
code:
  7:39pm  up 86 day(s), 14:18,  2 users,  load average: 2.72, 3.12, 3.31


Chicago server (my business)
code:
14:41:06 up 8 days, 23:44,  1 user,  load average: 0.11, 0.09, 0.03


Toronto server (windows, company I do work for part-time)
code:
System Up Time:            24 Days, 21 Hours, 20 Minutes, 54 Seconds

The Toronto one was up for a lot longer, but we had to bring it down for scheduled maintenance a couple weeks back.


Nothing too impressive, when I was younger I had a FreeBSD server in my basement that was up for over a hundred days (which is pretty impressive where I live-power goes off quite a bit, and there was no backup power)

Pretty sure I hit something like six months at home (power outage over the summer, and other than that, just hardware stuff requiring shutdown).

Nowadays though, I shut down at night, so it's <24 hours.

Mine is shut off every night, and whenever I won't be needing it for a couple hours. So, my laptop's longest is likely 5-6 hours, while my desktop has clocked at least 14 hours.

Since you run windows, I guarantee your uptime is less then a month. Unless you haven't installed any updates at all in which case you are an idiot.

I would be admazed if you have not had a power outage, or as md side a system update if you run windows (or just it crashing when going to sleep). Tho i would love to see a screen shot of the uptime to prove us wrong.

Wait...wft are there 2 users? *hurries off to investigate, and by 'hurries off', I mean is still sitting in the chair pushing buttons on his laptop*

EDIT: Seams that a disabled guest account (as in, a guest account that has been disabled, not an account for disabled guests) still counts as a user on OS X...

Currently I run both http://www.runlevel6.org/ and http://www.simplesoftwarecompany.com/ off my server. It's a dedicated virtual. I use SliceHost as my host.

System Up Time:            31 Days, 14 Hours, 7 Minutes, 8 Seconds


However, there is a windows update that needs to be done which requires a reboot...this happens almost every month? Maybe more frequent.

Without updating an uninteruptable power supply would solve that issue

Also I shutdown my Windows PC at the end of every day, don't really see a point in keeping it on or use Hibernate / sleep

My mother had been complaining about here computer acting very slow lately. I found out that she had not actually rebooted her computer in 2 months, just going into sleep.
She runs an ancient toshiba laptop with xp.
