Very strange then it should be something like 17000. Cant say what it was
now because the machine has just gone nuts and lost localhost connection
so had to reboot.<br>

try looking at your dmesg log and see the last time the server rebooted,
you may find its gone down and backup because of a power surge etc...

That's the funny thing. We all have vnc sessions on that machine and none
were affected. <br>

I think I'll have a bit of a google time then....<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
A bit of a strange thing, perhaps nothing to worry about but one of my
systems says the uptime is only 4 days but cant be more than a couple of
months.
I dont remember what the uptime/top said last week as it's something I
don't really keep an eye on.
Just had a look in /proc/uptime and the number of seconds (I think
that's what it is) is quite low compared to another server up 20days.
Am I just going mad?
Kev,
