I know, a server is not supposed to reboot a lot.
But form my part it's highly theoretical.
I'm not a Unix guru, even if I work hard to become one.
O'reilly, Google and TheList are my friends, and I got on the Unix train at
the release of the public Beta of OSX.
But I must say, most of the time, it take me much less time to reboot
the server than to identify the bad process, in order to kill it and
relaunch it.
I always considered the reboot as a healthy process,
so if I have a reason and the opportunity, I do one.
The other day, a power outage on a (too small) UPS device took down my
switch (it was on a week-end).
When I came back, my DHCP server was not providing addresses.
I preferred a one-minute reboot (damn they are fast to boot!)
over a 10-minutes search-and-kill, and remain with the doubt of having done
half of what had to be done.
Beside that, I dislike the nonsense here :
Servers are headless, we have TheTools to manage them (ARD, SSH),
but we still have to walk to the server room to turn the little hexagonal
key... What's the point of my shiny new VPN access...
