I only reboot mine when I absolutely have to. (Updating the kernel, power failure, changing hardware, etc.)

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!
