If this sort of thing interests you, install the ud package. My home server: ~$ ud -d Now : 61 day(s), 11:07:25 running Linux 2.2.19 One : 186 day(s), 17:33:42 running Linux 2.2.16, ended Tue Jun 19 19:19:32 2001 Two : 86 day(s), 11:28:48 running Linux 2.2.9, ended Thu Dec 9 11:04:35 1999 Three: 76 day(s), 14:10:15 running Linux 2.2.14, ended Thu Jun 22 08:40:56 2000 And my workstation: $ ud -d Now : 3 day(s), 16:11:39 running Linux 2.4.9 One : 183 day(s), 21:21:39 running Linux 2.2.14, ended Fri Mar 2 15:43:13 2001 Two : 50 day(s), 18:14:38 running Linux 2.2.14, ended Sun Apr 22 17:12:38 2001 Three: 46 day(s), 10:03:56 running Linux 2.4.5, ended Sun Aug 26 11:54:40 2001 (The workstation's uptime sucks lately because I keep having DRI lock up while playing games. The box is still running, so I can ssh in and do an orderly shutdown, but the screen freezes and I haven't been able to find a way to get out of DRI mode without rebooting.) -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Mr. Slippery
