what is your current uptime?

What is your current uptime statistics, in all of your computers?

Mine:
PC1: 2 days, 19 hours (GNU/Linux)
PC2: 9 days, 18 hours (GNU/Linux)

To see the uptime in GNU/Linux type top in a tty. To see the uptime in the wInsecure OS, type systeminfo in a command prompt or search the net for uptime.exe

7 hours, at the moment. :( (Or at least I've been on IRC for seven hours, which I usually sign onto as soon as I turn my computer on).

The reason for that is that my parents don't like me leaving my compy on overnight.
School'll start up again in September, though... so I can leave it on for weeks at a time... :)

22 days 19 hours but could be that plus 49.7 days. Win 98 SE

On Win 95 there is a bug so it only runs 49.7 days ( though there is a patch )
On Win 98 SE it is fixed but after 49.7 days it cycles back to zero.

The time in 1/1000 of a second is mod 2^32.

A 32 bit dword can only hold 49.7 days of 1/1000 of a second.
2^32 - 1 = 49.7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 (the 49.7 is approximate).

Is there some way to know how long a machine running Win 9X has been running ( if longer than 49.7 days ) ?

Is there some file or registry entry that is written/updated only when Windows starts that can be used as a time marker ?

maybe the pagefile creation date?

If you boot with the logging option, check the boot.log

It is possible also to do this: Create a file in Notepad with the logging command in it. To find the logging command check the Notepad Help. I think it is ".LOG". This command must be the only thing in the first line, and you shouldn't write anything more. Place Notepad in the Startup group to make it run at any boot. Now reconfigure the shortcut to make it load the text file you just created. Notepad will run every time you start the computer keeping the date and time in this text file.
