Andrew, There is no need to reboot your servers monthly; whom ever told you that is 100% wrong; even windows servers don't necessarily need to be rebooted monthly (although it's amazing how many issues are "fixed" after rebooting a windows machine); I've found the only need to reboot our linux servers is after updating the kernel, and that is just because I want the boxes to use the new kernel; -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Bacchi Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 9:30 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: Monthly Reboots Needed of not? My manager would hang me if I did that. I reboot after six months, but I'm sure I could go one year betewwn reboots. I see no memory leaks, or loss of effiency on this schedule.
