well, pooh. i was at 428 days or so, not that it's a guiness record or anything, but...
$ uptime 11:14pm up 4:05, 1 user, load average: 0.03, 0.05, 0.06 1) i left my mac and 21" monitor on 2) the laptop was plugged in 3) backup/secondary server, and monitor were on 4) laserjet printer was plugged in our poor ups didn't have much of a chance to keep the real debian server going for long. usually i at least turn the monitors off when leaving for extended periods... sadly, these outages were major bigtmie -- whole sections of town were out for hours at a time. and the outage was itself quite interesting. we were putting the final touches on "season's greetings"* and heard "bvvvvt" in the distance. sounded like a large pump starting up. the odd part was, the sky (really low drizzle rain clouds) lit up blue, at the same time. happened at least four times. * curious? see http://xmas.dontUthink.com/ -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #100 from Leonard Stiles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Looking for a way to CREATE A PAGE OF LINKS to all the */index.html that already exist in your /usr/share/doc tree? #!/bin/sh # as /usr/doc contains lots of symlinks to /usr/share/doc, adding # -follow to find args may be useful. { echo '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"' echo '"http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/strict.dtd">'; echo '<html><head><title>Documentation Links</title></head><body>'; find /usr/doc -name index.html \ -printf '<href="file:%p">%P</a><br>\n'; echo '</body></html>'; } > links.html Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ...
