Expert Opinion

This perhaps does not belong in ths category; apologies, however, we have a heated debate going and your input will decide the result.

Should UNIX (HP, AIX, etc) be rebooted following a monthly cycle (Every month, or a qtr, etc.). We have some UX admins (grumps) who say they have seen a UX server up for 5 years and etc. etc.

I have tried reading up on this topic but in the end I have decided to go to the people who do this for a living.

So what is a good practice?

Best of regards,

R
