You reboot your server every week? Whatever for?


Don't some updates set a "reboot required" flag?


Yes. My point is doing this all the time is, generally, a waste of time. I recommend turning off automatic updates, do it on a schedule. Weekly is too frequent. I have some servers I update yearly. That may be too long. At a previous startup, we had boxes that hadn't seen an update in 3+ years.


This is the real WTF of this subthread.


To make sure the process works?
