Re: How often do you reboot servers? -- PCTECH

Norm,

It is soooo on-topic it's almost scary...

The question was "how often do you reboot servers".

My reply was that my (home) server is shut down every night.

How more on-topic can it get?

Peter,
That's totally off topic and should be moved to CPF0000.

I shutdown my home server every night.

But that's also because it's on a rack in my bedroom and rather noisy

I just rebooted my mail server after almost a year of uptime.

As it rebooted, it did a full fsck of the main drive.

I'm looking for opinions ... how often should you reboot a server ...
even if it's just for getting things like fsck to run?

Thanks!

david
