Don't forget that those machines are either running network services so
rebooting them will cause a break in that and can lead to issues like
stale nfs file handles for nfs servers or broken internet connections if
they are a firewall.
If they are workstations then its probable that they will have a number of
users logged at any one time doing work and so they will not be best
pleased.

We currently run 40 Redhat ES/WS version 3 machines and we have been
advised that it would be good practice to reboot the linux machines once a

people thought about this and also if anybody actually does this already.
Let me know your thoughts
