The iSeries isn't like a PC, you don't have to reboot it regularly; if that's what you are asking.


Not to mention, Charles:
In the 21 years that I have worked with System/38, System/36, AS/400, iSeries, and i5 machines, I have _never_ seen a single one of them shut down and/or reboot themselves (without an operator first issuing PWRDWNSYS) because of OS problems...


Of course, in one shop when the DP manager inadvertently unplugged the system, we had a unexpected shutdown

(One of Murphy's laws is:  "It Works Better If You Plug It In")

And, in another shop, a new VP who came on a tour of the computer room inadvertently pressed the EPO (which was next to the computer room door), thinking it was a door release, again unexpectedly causing the system to shut down.

Steve
