long a hacker has gone without sleep. “<span class="quote">What's your uptime?</span>”

“<span class="quote">Oh, about 28 hours so far, but I think I can probably do another

12.</span>” This is, of course, a reference to the uptime command and the

pride with which most Unix types note how long their computers go without

reboots. Uptime is a testament to the stability of the OS and the stamina

of the hacker.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="upthread.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../U.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="urchin.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">upthread </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> urchin</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
