Htop Exclamation Mark Near Uptime In Output On Linux Server
The other day while troubleshooting an issue on a server I noticed something I hadn’t ever noticed before which was an exclamation mark next to the uptime output from the htop command. After investigating and looking over the source I found that it is a bonus letting you know that your server has been up for a long time. Basically anything over 100 days of uptime will produce an exclamation mark next to the uptime reading. Below I show the sourcecode from the UptimeMeter.c file in the htop source as well as examples of how the htop uptime can vary depending on how long your server has actually been up.
