I used to work for Digital (DEC), and one of the VMS servers in the US had been running (IIRC) for eight and a half years without a re-boot. Sadly a building move mean that it had to be powered down

Yes this is sad, but an idle few hours before our companies Xmas do, so just wondered?
List:
- uptime (for you NT boys benefit, this means since the last reboot
)
- OS type (solaris, HPUX etc..)
- system archecture (if applicable - eg. sun4m, sun4u etc..)
for example, one of our systems:
847 days
Solaris 2.6
sun4m (SPARC 20!)

I used to work for a company that did command & control systems for Fire & Police. DG's were always popular with them for some reason and I always found the AViiONs and CLARiiONS to be very reliable.
The first DG I worked on was a 16-bit S/140 running RDOS - you had to manually program in the boot address using switches on the front before it would start.

Just went to check one of my old faithful routers which had an uptime of over 2 years last time I checked. Some bugger re-booted it last night 
. Uptime now 12 hours 36 mins .
I'll have to go hunting now !

Had a couple of machines (over 300 heavy nfs users) with uptimes of over 3 years. Machines were taken down to install new memory as there is no DR support within Solaris 2.5.1.
Number of times hit a Solaris 2.5.1 bug that caused boxes with uptime over 240 days to panic (Form memory NT had one which would panic the machine after 30 days be no-one ever noticed). Had to power down all system for power work 9-12 months ago so no real big uptimes atm. .
