[SGVLUG] Well its fun to be scared sometimes.

[Michael Proctor-Smith]

Well I logged into one of our server a couple of minutes ago and happened to 
check the uptime. 12hours and 36min.

My reaction "WHAT THE F$&@!". Did we have a powerfailure at the colo 
facility? Did someone accedently unplug it. I checked another machine in the 
same rack it had been up for 29days. I checked the logs and there was not 
recent reboot in them. Then of coarse I realized this system had gone 
through funny little quirks of linux, as the uptime is stored in a 32 
integers. So after 497days and change the uptime rollover to 0 again. 

So I get to do the happy dance I finally had a system rollover.
