Thank you BillG for that wonderful Windows Registry idea.

An OS should only have to be restarted after a kernel recompile.

BTW, one other thing. Our mainframe used to have a prog called simon
(systen integrity monitor?) that was run periodically at times to
check the hardware. Among other things, IIRC, it did some barberpole
tests to memory with the supply voltage changed a few percent to a
higher and lower value. MS-DOS used to have EMM386 or some prog that
did memory tests during bootup, but I don't know how it's done with
the different windoze OSes. But the hardware does need an occasional
check. If it can't be done during regular operation, then the OS
should be shut down and the hardware checked for integrity.

BTW, the uptimes numbers listed in this site are DAYS, not hours. Thus,
the top runner has (supposedly; usually systems are updated at least
once a year in a typical environment) 1688 DAYS of uptime.

I personally know the administrator a Tucson Newspapers, holder of
positions 6 and 7 (actually both the same box), and have personally
"laid hands" on treefort.org. It has been up for more than 3 years,
running continously and was a semi-publicly available box for
designing/running CGI scripts (for any subscriber at the now defunct
AzStarnet ISP). It has been updated several times, that does not mean it
needs to be rebooted and hasn't been. Note that Apache was updated at
one point, but backdated because a few scripts had problems.

To date, the biggest problem keeping the box up (it's in a
switch/telecom closet) is when the power supply in a Packard Bell next
to it burst into flames last year. Nearly had to pull the power! What a
shame that would have been.

BTW, here is the info on my system:

Note bad, here's one of my boxes that monitors a couple dozen switches

In my garage are two bikes. A 1981 Yamaha Maxim 650, always babied, which
there is ALWAYS something wrong with it, hard to start, runs bad. It's
supposed to be a good bike... the oil pan is off of it now. Then there is a
1971 Suzuki RV 90J (little 90cc dirt bike, big wide tires, 2-cycle rotary
valve intake) and it has so far not required any major engine servicing.
ANY! And it's been abused, very very abused... been through other
consumables though, 2 chains, 2 rear sprockets, 2 pairs of rear shocks, new
seat, 2 new tires, new front fender... yet it starts on the first kick, even
after sitting in a corner for a year. Now *that* is Karma. Both bikes are
made from the same kind of metals and plastics, but one has clearly worked
much better over the years than the other, and under much harsher
conditions. Is it manufacturing, materials, or Karma?

How can it be Karma? If it were, it would not discriminate between the
bikes. They'd either *both* be crap, middling, or wonderful depending
on how many bugs you've stepped on or squished in your life.
I used to believe my computers were possessed because they were so
trouble. Evenually I found out the problem was basically down to the
Windows (spit!) "operating system." All the time I used command line
systems I never had any problem. All my grief began with Win 3.1.
Should have realised it before, I suppose, but the MS marketing
machine is soooo convincing.

Yeah, well that, too. Reminds me of the minicomputer that we had for
student assembler classes. They would screw up in their programs and
the processor would overwrite some area of the OS. So the OS would
crash, and jump to a location in memory and halt. The front panel
would display that hexadecimal location: DEAD

But shouldn't that be data ARE not instructions? ;-)

Hey Watson!

What you don't understand is all us guys with *nix boxes can do our
upgrades without rebooting the OS. The only time we have to reboot
is when we change the kernel, which is about once a year.

My Linux box has taken on hundreds of megabytes of upgrades this year
without rebooting. The only time I had to reboot, due to an operating
system issue, was when I upped my kernel to the latest rev.

This is not to say my machine hasn't been taken down, it has, but that
has been due to hardware changes, and power outages that exceed my UPS's
ability by several days.

When was the last time you did a Window's upgrade, of any sort, that
didn't require you to reboot several times to make it stick?

No; it appears to be an oxymoron (figure of speech involving an apparent
contrast), but oxymorons don't have to be false statements.

No doubt the product is smaller, and less power-hungry, than yer

It's a good thing it runs Linux. 128,000 CPUs running Windows would crash
about 40 times a second, on average.

And consume the entire world's communication capacity spewing Swen virus.

Same here. I relegated Acrobat v5.0.5 to the back burner, in case I
receive something I can't read, and went back to Acrobat v4.05a as the
PDF tool of choice.

I don't know why some of these software shops can't leave a good thing
alone and instead develop a new product. Adobe just has to keep
adding bloat until they destroy Acrobat.

And I see JASC doing the same thing to Paint Shop Pro :-(

I was POed at the 6.0 reader. The damn thing wouldn't install until
W2000 had SP2 installed. Not only that, but I believe they are trying
to squeeze more out of the users by making it do "features" that you
have to go to their weebsite and pay for. Some features. >:-(

I suggest you keep a copy of 5.0 whatever the latest was, and burn it
to CD-R for future installation. Adobe no longer has it on their site
(I couldn't find it), and I had to find it at some Russian site or
whatever. It's named something like AR505EN.exe (?). Get it before
it becomes extinct. Most documents can still be read with AR 4.0, so
I don't think that 5.0 will become obsolete for quite awhile.
Especially if Adobe keeps on squeezing the users of AR 6.0 for more
money.

No. If you right-click on the filename in Windows Explorer you get a

drop-down menu that includes 'Rename', which highlights the filename and
puts the cursor at its end. Very convenient for deleting the extension,
which is probably NOT what you want to do. (;-)

You can also do this by left-clicking once on the filename to highlight
it and then again, NOT TOO QUICKLY, to rename.

Ditto.

I can't really think of anything else that tends to crash Windows,
besides itself every so often when shutting down, for instance.
The occasional IE crash might cause problems, WinAmp's been known to
crap out for some reason, my DOS games have done a little I 'spose.
Overall Win98SE isn't all that bad. Then again, it could be that I've
learned subconciously how to steer around crashes! ;-)
