Re: How often do you reboot servers?

I shutdown my home server every night.

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

Subject: [PCTECH] How often do you reboot servers?

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!
