I've worked with Sun boxes for years and never heard of a "recommended" reboot cycle. Do you know what version of Solaris?

What's the recommended reboot cycle for Sun Solaris servers? i don't know, but i have regularly used solaris servers under a fair amount of constant load (not x86-based) that had uptime in the 2+ years range with no problems. clearly this was a couple releases ago, since i haven't worked with solaris in the last couple years. still, nobody ever considered rebooting them to fix a problem. that is heresy =) _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
