I've scoured the web but saw no way to "fake" Linux uptime in order to test a problem that apparently occurs once uptime has hit 497 days. This is not the jiffy wraparound issue, but is a 3rd party software issue. From what I've seen its not as simple as pushing your system clock ahead x number of days and rather is calculated by jiffies. There is a bit of a harsh method via script listed here: Microtron Home Page - Linux Uptime Faker Shell Script But I thought I'd ask if there was some less "dangerous" method. Environment: Redhat EL4 Update3 TIA!
