No offence Apu, but when they were handing out religions you must have been out taking a whizz

Two schools of thought on this...

Old School says you should do a graceful restart of the server every X days/months, because even if everything seems to be working there may be runaway and/or zombie processes eating resources and a reboot will clean them out.

New School says the only time to reboot an xNix box is when you have to (e.g. kernel rebuild, etc).

Who's right? Probably both. LOL
