Solaris Machine Shut Down After 3737 Days of Uptime

Posted by timothy on from the those-are-some-crazy-socks dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After running uninterrupted for 3737 days, this humble Sun 280R server running Solaris 9 was shut down. At the time of making the video it was idle, the last service it had was removed sometime last year. A tribute video was made with some feelings about Sun, Solaris, the walk to the data center and freeing a machine from internet-slavery."

    A *nix machine being idle for 3737 days is not all that interesting.

      If there's fail over (and there should be if uptime is important)

      i agree... if you're responsible for a single server performing a mission critical function with no fail over, you may as well just fire yourself
