Not really. Rebooting has always worked just as well on Linux as it has on MS Windows. (Which means it really only solves transient errors anyway.)
one may also make init 1 init 5, but reboot is easier. we know that reboot is not necessary, but not always know what we have to restart, so on non server machines, it's not rare to have to reboot jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412160445 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Rebooting is also a quick easy fix. openSUSE 11.1 boots up so quickly now, that a reboot is not a big deal. Given that it might take me... 10 or 15 minutes to track down a misbehaving program, kill it, restart some service etc, vs 15 seconds to reboot.... the reboot usually wins out. This is especially the case when I am doing remote support for friends and family using openSUSE... they break something.. they call me... I can ssh to their machines, tinker for a while, or.. tell them to reboot while we chat, and 99% of the time all is well after a restart. Yes, it's the easy way out, and on home computers... it works. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
