Reboot of Unix servers - recommended?
Hello,
Please can anyone tell me - is it true that you should not re-boot Unix Sun Solaris servers on a regular basis, but onyl do it when really required?
We want to schedule a reboot on a daily basis, to clear any rogue processes, but have been told this is not a good idea.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks,
Paula
