Is it possible to fake the server uptime in any way (throttling the time).?(Linux/Windows). I guess it will cause serious troubles, still just wondering.

2Why, do you want this? – Zoredache Nov 04 '11 at 20:46

I am not going to try this out anywhere. It is just a question wandering in my mind for a long time and I never had a definitive answer from anyone (so far I asked). I would have really appreciated you guys if you would have simply said "we can't" or "we shouldn't". I thought this place is for knowledge sharing and now I am really disappointed. – SparX Nov 04 '11 at 21:17

@SparX it's really not appropriate here. Maybe at unix.se or SU. This is a place for knowledge. Very specific knowledge about very specific things. – MDMarra Nov 04 '11 at 21:24

There is an uptime faker script that compiles a kernel mod in /tmp that screws with jiffies (the thing that make uptime and everything else tick).
In all likelihood, you'll end up causing your server to implode and create a black hole that will envelope the Earth, so proceed with caution.
