So long as you are at the front, carrying the standard.

Goddamn Christians are so selective in their interpretation.

A cpu server is analagous to a unix server accepting ssh connections.

Just use Jiffies

On: Booting Linux Faster

http://www.zevv.nl/jiffies/

JIFFIES
This is an extremely simple patch for the 2.4 kernel. It creates a read/writable entry /proc/sys/kernel/jiffies, where you can get and set the current jiffies. To fake your systems uptime, write the required number of jiffies to this file :

# echo 100000 > /proc/sys/kernel/jiffies

Jiffies run at 100 per second on i386 systems, so calculate the uptime with

jiffies = days * 8640000

Write once run everywhere ?
