The system won't do anything if you didn't touch it.

List of websites by latest uptime figure[^].
There you can see some Windows 2000 servers that have been running for more than three years without a reboot. Presumably they're making use of firewalls or other workarounds to avoid applying patches that will require rebooting their servers. Many security patches don't actually need a reboot if you stop whatever processes are using the files that need to be updated.
The methodology is given here[^] - the TCP protocol includes some sequence numbers which are predictable and can therefore tell you how long it has been since the server was restarted.
You can, I think, configure some hardware with a watchdog timer so that if the operating system doesn't reset the timer for a certain period, the hardware assumes that the OS has crashed or hung and will reboot automatically. See your hardware manuals for information on this.

Windows doesn't have a timer that triggers and automatic restart. Provided the software running on it is stable and plays nice, Windows, like just about any other O/S, can run for years without any problems.

Thank you.

Can any one help me, How to create a static/dynamic library in Z/OS(mainframe environment) using c/c++ programming?
Thanks,

It's very unlikely you'll gett an answer to this question here. CodeProject is dedicated to supporting development on the Windows platforms. You'd be better off looking for a forum that supports Z/OS. You might get lucky and someone with Z/OS development experience might see your post, but don't count on it.

According to SDK and other sources, under Win NT, 2K, XP and later, only regular way to acccess floppy from programs is via CreateFile for physical floppy, and having linear access.
But it has issues with non strictly PC format floppies, even if them are well readable with PC's FDC chip.
Does someone knows is possible to access some undocumented, 'hidden' calls, where we can address floppy with geometry - CHS. Somewhere such functions inside floppy driver(s) must exist.
Mentioned issues: for instance it is not possible to read 10th sector on track by DD floppies (used by many old computers).

I have done this in the past (NT 3.51)
I used the source from the floppy driver (in the DDK).
Inside the driver, there are quite a few supported physical formats. So I took a rarely used format and adjusted it to my needs (which was to read/write/format IBM System 36 Desktop-diskettes (26 sectors, double-sided, 512 or 256 bytes per sector, 80 cylinders)).
It worked like a charm, the biggest problem was to find out the sector gap parameter. For reading the diskette, i used trial and error to find out the lowest and highest values that worked, then I used the value in the middle of them.
Then i could experiment the gap used at formatting and writing, the same way as for the reading gap.
So you will need at least one "original" diskette to find out the gap at read. Make sure you can read all sectors on a cylinder , just sector 0 won't do!

You guys would have a heart attack if you came to China. You can buy Any version of windows for just 4 yuan, on any street! No need for keygens and most even have that new LegitControl pre installed. 4 yuan is about 2 cents to you Americans.

|

|

Well, how many yuan are in the $250,000 fine per pirated copy of Windows you have? I don't know about you, but I don't have that kind of money spilling out of my pockets, and yes, MS is actively hunting down violators...
