Games. :P I always have one windows box in the house for games. Other machines run Linux.

Mostly I look at uptime to see when was the last time the damn machine crashed.

If you’re worried about uptime, why are you running windows? Linux has better uptime after you have it set up. I just got done installing slackware 12, so my uptime got reset :(.

Edit away. I didn’t mean to mess up your layout.

At my old job we automatically ran uptime.exe (as a scheduled task) at 12:01am on the first of every month to verify our uptime guarantee. I knew I had to track down a copy of it back then so I figured it was out there somewhere.

Thanks! Sorry for the edit, but long links mess up my layout :)

I tested it and it actually does works in WinXP.

Probably because they realized it was useful so they included it as part of something else you have to buy. Here’s a link to the NT version…

which may work on Win2k+
