Admittedly, I am a newbie when it comes to System Administration. But how do all of you with crazy up times keep your system's patched? It seems like every other patch requires a restart!

We've got a few boxes like this still in production service, generating billing information:

$ uptime
 8:59pm  up 1268 day(s),  7:34,  1 user,  load average: 0.14, 0.19, 0.22
$ uname -a
SunOS dce1.man1 5.8 Generic_108528-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60

It's actually a DC powered Netra T-1120.

How do we keep from having to patch them?

$ pkginfo -i | wc -l
    102


It's listening on only 2 ports (ssh and our monitoring tool)

I'm pretty sure we still have at least one 2.6 box running w/ ~1700 days uptime. With 2.6 we only installed around 60 packages.
