      we have a pair that are on a schedule to reboot,... one is a SAP server that has print issues if running for two or three weeks without reboot. It's weird,.. but hey,... it's SAP.

        Weird that it has managed to keep working for two weeks?

            Zabbix monitoring is super convenient for my weekly reboots. If something doesn't come back I will receive an e-mail but I also remote into it to verify everything is up and running too

            We use this...

            for i in $(cat server_list); do echo $i $(ssh $i uptime); done
            

            Produces a nice list of the uptimes for every system.

            I now do:

            ansible all -a "uptime"

                At work: every Friday for Workstations, if it is needed, and Every Sunday for Servers if it is needed.
                Home: Autoreboot after they are installed on my laptop, cause I dont care, most my crap is web based. Home Lab: Every Sunday at 11AM.
                My 1 rule, don't suck at patching.

                  What does "if it is needed" mean?

                      When patches are released, because you very well know, patching is the last thing customers think about. Although this is one thing I would like to audit as one of my other projects. New guy, fresh set of eyes.

                        Why not call "updating for updating's sake" "needed" and then update every week 🙂
