Update MTBF utility (sandbox) to work properly with Domino 8.x 
You may have noticed that IdeaJam now looks a bit different. That's because we are testing out some new themes that will be included with IdeaJam V2.0 coming in 2012. If you have any feedback about the new themes we would be happy to hear what you have to say. Please drop us a note.

: MTBF, mean time between failures

MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) sandbox utility has been around since R5.
The down time reported for crashes works fine, but the down time reported for server shutdowns is not working in Domino 8.  It typically reports 0 minutes down and occasionally a value of at or near max Int (65525, 65512, etc)
This product is one of those "as-is" things, but it would be nice if it were updated to work with the current software.  There is no formal way of reporting this, though I did call and report it through IBM Support. (the analyst said he would let the developers know when he met with them, but had to close the ticket.)
 
Please vote this one up and if you aren't using it, go check out this great statistical tool to track your server availability automagically in the developer works sandbox.  Also, the following text comes from the Help About document.  If you know John, let him know he made a great tool and ask him to tweak it for ND8.x.

You hit the main problem with the Sandbox tools: upgrade to newer versions of Notes and the fixing of detected problems.

It is great that there is a Sandbox, but many times you wish that these isseus would get more attention.

NotesPeek is a typical sample too.

I think I fixed this at the end of last year and then I fixed a bug in my fix!
05/13/09 5.8 JAP Fixed crash bug in calculating Outage Length more accurately
12/31/08 5.7 JAP Added fixes to calculate Outage Length more accurately

so latest version is 5.8 as of today 10/16/2009 - I think IBM closed down support for the download site as a resource action so I'm still looking for a new home to post latest versions...Send me an e-mail with what platforms you would like and I'll send you the latest and we'll see if it fixes your issue.

Thanks John. We are using Windows Server 2003 and Domino 8.0.2, soon-to-be 8.5.1. I don't have your email address, so another IBM'er is forwarding my info to you.
