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

Assuming your system is kept up to on PTFs, the IPLs required for PTF
application should be plenty.  That might be monthly, quarterly, even
yearly I suppose.

If you aren't keeping up to date on PTFs, I think IBM recommends at
least a yearly IPL.  But you'll find plenty of stories on about 400s
that haven't been IPL'd in many years.
