Well, my recent exposure to UNIX is a client of mine with "many" UNIX b=
oxes running as Sybase servers (primarily). And while they dont crash o=
ften - they have crashed, just not often - they have an affectionate te=
rm called "bouncing the box" which is done frequently. In fact they eve=
n schedule these "bounces". The system going down is all the same to me=
 if my process is running at the time!

BTW - these are HP's.
