Re: How long do you run between shutdowns

My guess is that your OS will be the limiting factor for when to shutdown - as most seem to need the occasional thorough cleaning that occurs then. I am running OnLine 5.00 on an HP9000/835 running HP-UX 9.0. We reboot every month or so. Mark Van Overbeke (markvo@cda.mrs.umn.edu) wrote: : Here is a question.
