I severely hope UptimeVPS uses ksplice.

Really, 2nd post derailing?

Currently: up 96 days, 8:17 from Prometeus closely followed by 84 days, 17:34 from Carstensz Pyramid Server.

@bobby said: Really, 2nd post derailing?

We should start a thing where the first post is actually derailing, so that the 2nd post bill derail from the derailment and bring everything back on track.

bobby

Both ValueVPS (Xen) and JSHosts (VZ) i had ~ 400 days, Mention record on a LEB too?

bobby

@gsrdgrdghd indeed hehe.

Ok everyone reboot all your VPSes and lets let this competition get going.

sleddog

How about some independent proof of these claims? ;)

bobby

@JoeMerit Sup, Buzz Killington?

bobby

@sleddog like giving you root on all to check them?

Taz

Seriously? No kernel updates? I wouldn't trust a provider with 1+ year uptime on a single server( cloud is acceptable) unless they can proove that they are using ksplice.

A simple script like mine, in the bottom of the page :p

<?php
function linuxUptime() {
  $ut = strtok( exec( "cat /proc/uptime" ), "." );
  $days = sprintf( "%2d", ($ut/(3600*24)) );
  $hours = sprintf( "%2d", ( ($ut % (3600*24)) / 3600) );
  $min = sprintf( "%2d", ($ut % (3600*24) % 3600)/60  );
  $sec = sprintf( "%2d", ($ut % (3600*24) % 3600)%60  );
  return array( $days, $hours, $min, $sec );
}

$ut = linuxUptime();
// If you would like to show the seconds as well just add [ , $ut[3] seconds ] after minutes.
echo "Server Uptime: $ut[0] days, $ut[1] hours, $ut[2] minutes";
?>

Don't need root to check uptime ;)

You all are aware that server uptime doesn't mean anything right? Please provide network uptime if you want to compare something meaningful.

Maybe..maybe not. ;)

To be honest now, never had over 2 months of overall uptime. Had around 1 year of hardware uptime on different providers, however network just tends to fail from time to time.

Why so serious? Of course we know ;-)

Network uptime (hetzner) is also near perfection.

ErawanArifNugroho

Would anyone use my script and put it in the bottom of the page of your website? :p

OK, so starting Aug 1 PungCM is a contest ;) Providers have tomorrow to check/verify their IP, or submit to get listed. First prize is... bragging rights?

@sleddog what if the server goes down, that PungCM is on? Do we panic?

Nah :) Network or server downtime would affect everyone equally. And there's two locations....

I can just imagine @Damian's new webpage title..
