Hello everybody!

Now I'm in the spirit of keeping my mac on all the time, lets have an Uptime Competition!

To find your uptime, open your utilities folder and type: uptime.

Your output will be something like this:

up 7:27, 2 users, load averages: 0.87 0.72 0.73

The 7:27 is the time your computer has been on.

All you have to do now, is post your time.

Post the exact line, and if you can, post a pic. (Try tinypic for free image hosting)

Have fun!

[MaxPower2k3]

only 33 days, 22 hours, and 46 minutes here.

[rickey939]

Not bad for an old school PowerBook G4...

[osiris]

19 minutes, 45 seconds. (I just applied an old Security update)

I think 46 days is the longest uptime for my computer. I had a server up for over 100 days once, but those updates beckon.

Mac mini, 1.25 GHz G4, 512mb.
Mac OS X 10.4.6

[Doofy]

44 days, 5:37, 5 users, load averages: 1.28 0.76 0.51*

(Last boot from power outage - don't buy Belkin UPS units!)
(* I have no idea what the load averages mean. What scale are we on?)

The old man's eMac, acting as an email server and Word/Safari/Mail client was up for around 600 days (I clocked it at 543 days a couple of months beforehand) until I swapped out the UPS unit recently. I just told him "don't switch it off" and he didn't.

Hmm, you quite sure about that one?

Mine:

0:01 up 42 days, 5:43, 2 users, load averages: 2.04 1.88 1.90

[Peter]

23:10 up 19 days, 2:16, 4 users, load averages: 0.48 0.46 0.61

irc box: [2309:51] 23:09:51 up 72 days, 3:07, 6 users, load average: 0.00, 0.06, 0.07

[Big Mac]

Current uptime stat: up 5 days, 9:12, 2 users, load averages: 0.12 0.16 0.16

Longest uptime I have recorded: up 49 days, 2 users, load averages: 0.08 0.02 0.07

I usually have 4 users logged in, but I only ever see 2 users reported. Where is uptime getting 2 users from?

[placebo1969]

I'm at 19 days. The longest uptime was about 45 days, usually between SW updates that force a restart. That's about the only thing that kills my uptime anymore.

[alligator]

I calculated pi to 17 billion decimal places once on my Windows machine. Total uptime (with daily use as well) = 12 days. I almost died. Imagine, Windows staying up 12 days without incident and daily use! I'd be angry if my Mac couldn't handle that.

Oh, and my stats: up 4 days, 7:23, 2 users, load averages: 0.53 0.57 0.42

[tavilach]

20:38 up 28 days, 7:40, 4 users, load averages: 2.17 1.87 1.58

[MaxPower2k3]

heh, just a few hours after posting my 33-day uptime, the power went out and the computer shut off.

(edit: currently 11 mins, 1 user, load averages: 0.65 0.64 0.40 )

[dreamryche]

up 4 days, 20:57, 2 users, load averages: 0.40 0.23 0.32

I was up for about 30 days but I added RAM on Tuesday.

[blackstar]

up 17 days, 18 secs, 2 users, load averages: 0.31 0.43 0.41

[Cadaver]

I periodically boot my MacBook Pro in to Windows, so I think right now I'm going on three days or so.

My Dual G5 (since been retired) I think went 60+ days before I gave up and applied long-overdue OS updates to it and had to reboot.

/off on a tangent: I'm thinking about replacing my old gigabit ethernet G4 file server with my G5 (which I was going to sell), since the G4 can't go more than a week without the either Activity Monitor or the Apple Remote Desktop daemon failing, requiring me to walk down to the basement to reboot it (if I want to remotely manage the server). Rebooting via SSH causes it to hang and never complete its reboot. Its a good machine, but I think her time has come.

[- - e r i k - -]

12:50 up 4 days, 1:27, 2 users, load averages: 1.70 1.41 1.37

My longest one was around 56 days or so back in the 10.2 days.

[MacMan4000]

currently: 11 days

recond: sixty somethin days... I didn't write it down, and with my memory "didn't write it down" == "forgotten".

I've had an 84 day uptime on my windows machine. The only reason it wasn't longer is because we had a power outage in my town one day. I use my windows machine a lot and I never have any problems with it, it never crashes.

[kick52]

im at around 24-25 hours! yay!

[DeathToWindows]

Best I've ever had was off my PB 12... something in the realm of 35 days.

[osiris]

My office machine:
10:01 up 66 days, 19:43, 3 users, load averages: 0.51 0.92 0.82

uptime reports the number of simultaneous users with active sessions, not the number of users currently logged into an account.
So if you have 4 users logged in locally, but only your current account active, plus one user logged in remotely, that's 2 users (you and remote).

[Scotttheking]

The last reboot on my laptop would be the last time it kernel paniced. So, 2 or 3 days ago.

My servers run for hundreds of days at a time. *shrug*

[SSharon]

Some recent reboots aside my ibook went the first 365 days of its life without being rebooted. At one year I decided upgrading to Tiger would be nice. Since then it went about 192 days and is currently at one week. For the 3 and a half years I was in school my MDD averaged about 60 days uptime and unlike the ibook was never put to sleep.

v10.4.7 is out now....back to 0 I go.
