Yeah, now that I reread it, I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that. I do know that we had a machine that had been up for YEARS with processes each running various versions of glibc, but looking back, I think the reboot was done because it was easier that identifying each process and restarting them in order.
That, my friend, is very much true.
Depending on the kind of server you are running (mumber of different processes), a reboot will be much easier. Did that myself a few times.
