Wow! That's very cool Marc.

[Is this list still somewhat alive?]

The Common Lisp Directory (http://www.cl-user.net)
lisp process crashed
yesterday after 823 days of continuous service.
 
In these 2 years and 93 days, the same lisp process
(LispWorks on Linux
Debian) served 273M requests without any problem. Even the
crash was not
really lisp's fault as it was caused by a swap disk problem
which caused
the kernel to kill a lot of processes.
 
During these 823 days, I had to restart Apache every few
months and the
firewall router every several days. I also got several
electric power
outages but fortunately none longer than the 3h of UPS
battery time.
BTW this shows than Debian is also a stable platform for
this kind of
applications.
 
So the CLD lisp process uptime experiment is now over and I
will move
the CLD to a better place than a simple server in my
basement.

Well done!

A new record, I suspect.

As a matter of interest, does it use one of the standard
servers, or
did you roll your own?

I use my own webapp server with Apache and mod_lisp:
.http://www.fractalconcept.com/ilc2002-marc-battyani.pdf
 
Now it would be called an Ajax framework but I don"t
even know if the
acronym already existed in 2000/2002.
