HFS and Standby

[ELEVENNNN]

Hey

My machine shut off randomly (or went into standby rather) but when I started it back up HFS still said it had been running for 1 day and 3 hours.  This is a nice thing to know since some people shoot for 99.9% uptime and even though the server is unaccessible because the ability to route is shut down it still keeps the server online time valid.  So you can go into standby and come back and itll still say its been online all that time.. I tested this on GiantEagles end as well after clearing cache etc. (Both firefox and IE).

Have not tested with Hibernate because my graphics card doesnt support it, I would image with hibernate it resets it, but maybe that value only sees how long HFS has been running, and not how long HFS has been running with the interwebs enabled, Rejetto, care to shed some light on this/

Im not sure about HFS and hibernation but the uptime for utorrent doesnt reset when I hibernate, Im guessing that is because you dont actually close the program.

Doesnt going into hibernate throw everything into nvram so its technically completely gone, and then restored later?  I can see this working for utorrent/hfs for standby, but I would think it wouldnt work for hibernate, can someone test and confirm, i would love to be able to hibernate my server every 5 days or so just to know its not running solid all the time and potentially itll run longer

I understand hibernating as, All the data from the ram is stored onto the hdd and then loaded back into the ram as if nothing happened.

Anyone with Hibernate, i would grealtly appreciate if you could try this and confirm for us, definitions aside .

Hibernation does NOT reset the counter.

Thanks mark, good to know, was down for 11 hours, came back on and server time is still not reset. I'm sure people knew this but I didnt.
