greetings,
pardon my ignorance, yet...
hasn't someone come up with a way to "cycle in" or "soft reboot" a multiprocessor linux machine without losing *uptime*... um the same way you would in a mission critical telco environment or whatever? :)
I have heard of some efforts on this regard a couple years ago. As far as I know, it all came to nothing.
The main point is that a PC hardware is not as reliable as a telco hardware. Add to that the fact that Linux has few reasons for a reboot except for hardware failures, and that becomes a not very interesting project.
