cybergrunt69 Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 even if you run it from cron, shouldn't it still report the amount of uptime? the linux client runs from cron too, and it works fine for me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just pointing out it doesn't run as a daemon and it needs to be run from cron. I thought it ran as a daemon originally, so I just ran it once before I think old pal ijagwalaafq also got caught out by this, as his uptime only appears to have been updated once.

So I can't get it to work on my windwows box. Is there a way to change your OS? What i'd like to do is have ijagwalaafq_linux and ijagwalaafq_win or somthing like that. There has got to be an easier way to run more than one comp. Ok mark applied enough peer pressure I'll turn it back on... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was someone above me with 30 days uptime, they've suddenly disappeared? Not that I am complaining much, I am at the top with both of my computers now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markiemrboo Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Good stuff. Our average is a bit crappy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergrunt69 Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 oh well, we'll get there. I just finished moving to a new house, and my main comp had to be shutdown so it could go into it's new desk/home. I was actually a bit ticked that I was gonna waste a 9-day uptime on it just to move it.... oh well... at least my laptop can move easy...

We need >~100 days on average just to get in to the top 100... and we currently have a 9 day average in total... brr!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markiemrboo Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 LMAO... he was until I got a power outage 505874[/snapback] lol dang! Power cuts suck! I usually get them when my box reaches 100 days... in fact the most I have even seen my BSD box is 150 days odd I think, because of power cuts and lack of UPS However, laptop = battery so.. I can keep that one going till it blue screens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantonr Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 k i have joined and i think i have set up the cron job correctly. ok just to check - i typed crontab -e and then added this line right at the bottom of the file that opened and saved it: 27 * * * * /bin/yasuc will that mean that it is run every 27 minutes?
