Care to elaborate on what kinds of annoyances get cleared up by rebooting?

Well, I think uptime is over rated as a system quality measure in

We run a slew of Solaris servers and rebooting seems to clean up
a lot of little annoyances. I'm of the opinion that most systems
regardless of OS should be restarted on a regular basis, say
monthly. Of course some of them just do this on their own accord
too. It helps if they're clustered or have a backup online as far
as application availabilty goes.

After reading everything, I decided I probably needed to fsck at minimum, so
I just rebooted. Turned out the fsck ran automatically, the disk was corrupted,
and now, instead of 100% full at 36 Gb, I get (Ta da!)
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb1 38464340 5776132 30734304 16% /home
Thanks again. It's just a shame I had to reset my uptime, I hadn't booted
since May.
