I once worked at a company where my boss was proud his server had been up over 3 years. We needed to relocate the office, and just for the sake of geeking out, he wheeled that server, complete with UPS, to the new building without rebooting it. Hehehe. I agree, horrible idea. He left the company, I got his job, and a month later I scheduled a network-wide reboot and update of all devices. ;-) _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
