I strongly feel that certain events should not really be considered as
rebooting!
I have a 486 which is my gateway and is still running Suse 6.2 it sends me
email once a day such as:
Uptime
From: kpneil@haube.org
To: kpneil@haube.org
1:00pm up 905 days, 16:10, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
Now there have been a few power cuts in those 905 days which have even
exhausted the UPS. The last was about 45 days ago.
The 486 does a cron job which runs this:
uptime | awk '{$3 = $3 + 860;print $0 }' | mail -s Uptime kpneil@haube.org
The 860 is, of course, where you'd put 366 or whatever. This will only work
when your new time is 2 days +
Just an idea.....
