Due to a recent loss of data on my home server (wiped the USB with the bitlocker keys without recovery keys - genius I know...), I've lost a handy little (tiny) tool I used to run on my server called something like uptime2k.exe or xpuptime.exe you get the idea.

All it does it run on the tray, as a little red arrow pointing upwards, and displays a watermark on the desktop for how long the system has been up. It is just an instant indicator when I Remote desktop into the server if it has restarted at all. It is at-a-glance, rather than opening task manager -> performance.

It also keeps a track of the longest uptime (before my server wipe, 45 days without reboot!).

Now I can't seem to find it anywhere on google, I can't even remember the specific filename, but it's certainly towards the end of the alphabet as I remember it was always at the bottom of my downloads folder, so probably xpuptime.exe etc...

Thanks for any help you guys can share :)
 
Hmm, soundsgood (yes, a pun with your name :D ), some nice info watermarked there.

Though this really will bug me forever, since it was such a tiny tool, only a couple of hundred KB, and made a tiny watermark like windows does with eval builds, in the corner by the tray, of how many days/hours/mins etc it has been up.
 
In other news, I found it!
