Uptime

It came up in conversation about how long our workstations run without a reboot. I looked and my workstation has been up 85 days. I had no idea. This means I rebooted it the day we started this year (Jan. 3) and have been going ever since. I don't remember why I rebooted it. This is by no means a record. I do enjoy running across this kind of information randomly.

I remember one of the versions of Windows had a bug right out of the box that crashed the computer after 47 days or something like that. Some counter was counting seconds and blew a gasket at 47 days. All the machine had to do was be up for that long. This is poor testing.

>$ uptime
13:52:57 up 85 days,  5:32,  7 users,  load average: 0.35, 0.23, 0.25

From and including: Monday, January 3, 2011
To, but not including : Tuesday, March 29, 2011

It is 85 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date

Or 2 months, 26 days excluding the end date
Alternative time units 85 days can be converted to one of these units:
    * 7,344,000 seconds
    * 122,400 minutes
    * 2040 hours
    * 12 weeks (rounded down)
