what would you do if you want to find the uptime of a web site/server? for example http://codeproject.com which you do not have access to the server. thx in advance

Without access to the server you can't.

thx for the reply but i was thinking about running an script on an always connected to internet machine that pings (or something similar) the site and collect results and generates reports,I have posted here to use codeProject people's intelligence to find a better solution thx again :)

What happens if the site never goes down? What happens if the site is running fine but your connection disappears? What happens if they have a redundant system where one server comes up immediately when a server goes down? Basically, other than constantly pinging the server, there is no other way to know how long it's been up. Pinging is a brute-force method that will only really tell you how long you've been pinging it.
