The Twelve Days of Uptime
Words by Albert Corda, Richard Holmes, and David Kinder
TTTO The Twelve Days of Christmas


On the twelfth day of uptime
The system gave to me:

12 stopcodes ringing,
11 LISPers losing,
10 daemons running,
9 modems dying,
8 rib blocks missing,
7 DECtapes stretching,
6 jobs a-hacking,
5 k of core
5 detached jobs
3 strtrk's, ("start R K's")
2 cpu's
And a job stuck in run queue three.
