Your reasons beat ours, Ray. We just reboot the box every weekend because we do and we always have. It is AIX, too. We don't even reboot our Win 2K machines as often.

I once read an article in an IT publication (several years ago) in which
the author stated that if you are still rebooting your Unix servers
routinely, your Unix admins don't know what they're doing. Yes, the
language was that harsh.
I thought this was ludicrous for 2 reasons:
