2. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) | ||
uptime n. Technically, a machine's time since last reboot; jargonically, how long a hacker has gone without sleep. ?What's your uptime?? ?Oh, about 28 hours so far, but I think I can probably do another 12.? 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. | ||
