I couldnt agree more. Uptime is not worth a bollix if your server is
compromised due to some known root exploit or other.

Also as has been pointed out (to me by iluggers) that you should also
reboot for certain upgrades, glibc (etc)

Sorry for the language, didn't get time for any breaks today, boohoo, poor
me.
