All our servers are rebooted every night
I am bit curious, why/when does one decide to do such a thing?
I used to have (some 10+ years ago) a Novel eDirectory server which
would run out of contiguous allocatable memory every few days and crash
(only 32-bit version suffered from this; 64-bit version supposedly ran
fine but migration from 32 to 64-bit was quite some task AFAIR). So we
restarted the main server's process every night in controlled manner. I
suppose we could as well just reboot the server. If you have automatic
updates configured, you also have new kernel version installation as a
side effect (but of course if anything goes wrong and the servers go
down and don't come up, you're done for big time since there's high
probability that it happens to all your infrastructure).
