Prasad, You shouldn't need to reboot your linux box under normal circumstances. I personally only reboot my linux server when every other option to fix an issue has failed, or I am booting to a new kernel. 11:56:03 up 47 days, 3:12, 1 user, load average: 0.13, 0.04, 0.01 The above is my centos server's uptime. Unfortunately, there was an electrical outage at my home, and the server went down. =-( - -- Alex White prata at kuei-jin.org Fingerprint = 58DC 9199 CE73 74E8 B2C1 442E ACF5 92E0 E068 C46C gpg key location: http://www.kuei-jin.org/GPG-KEY-PRATA ~From the withered tree, a flower blooms --Zen Proverb -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCnzrbrPWS4OBoxGwRArM8AKCIjXBHCJcsLVrjVm3Ijs6QuVIjUwCfU1ez 6tNQ2Hh7LPwoIOOAZH3pels= =vypk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
