July 2, 201610 yr Hey all, I'm loving V6.X. The stability of it is absolute fantastic. As of the writing of this post, my server has been up for over 90 days, and it got me thinking - is there any need or benefit to reboot the server after an extended period of time? I run parity checks on a monthly basis with all normal results (knock on wood), and I'm perfectly cool leaving it as-is, but I'm a bit curious here. I have searched around a bit (FAQ, New User, Manual) and couldn't find anything indicating that a reboot would be beneficial, but figured I'd ask.

If your stats stay good, and you aren't generating a bunch of traffic in your syslog, leave it be. This isn't a microsoft product.
July 2, 201610 yr This is the good thing about any linux based system. They can literally go years without rebooting. I worked in a data center where admittedly I didnt know much about linux saw some machines go 2+ years without reboot. Windows is a resource hog when it IS working well let alone when its not. Updates aside Windows needs a reboot every now and then to free up resources.

July 3, 201610 yr Ah, yeah I was trying to relate those letters to a plugin.... Have it installed just didn’t know it sent a notification when the log starts getting full. Nice. Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk

July 3, 201610 yr Thanks squid. I actually woke up this morning to a notification from FCP. Just wasn't aware all the features you have jam packed into it Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk
