Excuse the bandwidth, but someone on this list is going to know. I've always tried to reboot windoze boxes at least monthly. Back in "the day", I'd reboot IBM mainframes each Standard/Daylight Savings transition, just because I had to be on-site on a Sunday anyhow. No real reason.
What's the thinking for Linux? I'm just running a couple daemons in support of my Wireless Network subscription services (they diddle the firewall based on Credit Card income) and the firewall. I was thinking that maybe I should reboot every April Fools day????? tia, Dan Top begins: 09:22:36 up 210 days, 4:32, 3 users, load average: 0.16, 0.30, 0.32 93 processes: 76 sleeping, 1 running, 16 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 0.1% user 1.1% system 0.0% nice 0.0% iowait 98.6% idle Mem: 256124k av, 250036k used, 6088k free, 0k shrd, 24000k buff 131228k active, 70640k inactive Swap: 240932k av, 27616k used, 213316k free 131168k cached
