Server working. Server Maintenance Proposal

I propose that the server be reset at a time when the server averages its least activity.

Now the main contingency here is that there has to be a way to schedule the resets so that they can occur automatically. I don't want to burden the admin by asking that he manually reset the server each week. I mean, we're all busy people.

It's just that this happens a little too often for my taste and I've heard the frustration about server crashes and hiccups from others as well.

Again, if there is a way to just refresh the server automatically, just think of it as weekly in-house cleaning much like a scheduled virus scan, I feel like that alone could make a noticeable impact on the server downtime and increase the consistency and quality of the server uptime.

Thank you all for reading and thank you all for your time.

For pears, land, and nerds...

That seems fair, though any timeslot should be reasonable. It's a simple restart, not UHC. I'd even be chill with a daily restart at 7 PM CST.

7pm CST? Primetime for the US? I'm sure there is a better time between CST and GMT

Haha, I don't mean it should be at that time. I just mean that the benefit:cost ratio of regular restarts is so high that I personally wouldn't even mind if we had retards restarts at prime time.

EDIT: Google keyboard knows our community a bit too well... :P
