Hostbill server uptime

[Patrick]

I don't know why but i've always been weird about server uptime.  The server i have dedicated to my hostbill install's current uptime as of less than 60 seconds ago is 346 d 21 h 40 min.

How about yours?  I'm also curious if anyone is willing to share sql configuration settings they choose to use to enhance their overall hostbill or if you run hostbill on a shared server then you can still share it since it should still be optimized.

My highest uptime server stands at 722 days, 11 hours. My lowest? Oh boy so many recent issues, 5 hours as of now hah! Needless to say, this is a development server with a semi-live production website on it. (I have my reasons)

Here's my configuration for an 8GB CentOS MySQL 5.1.6 cPanel server. I know this one is very bad, but it works pretty darn good. I have better, but trade secrets my friend. Trade secrets!

Humm how about latest kernel exploits?
Do you use ksplice?

I dont get kernel exploits. I'm currently running 3.8.4 on most of my production machines, and upgrading to a new kernel is one of the very few reasons why I would have downtime.

Actually, I think a lot of my server uptimes are reported below through signature.

Besides, If I'm not mistaken, that exploit was a Redhat/CentOS/Scientific foopah anyway right? And I usually roll my own kernels regardless of the distro.
