Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : patches, reboot when prompted or just after last ???

[bdsnyder]

After doing a 4i restore, I know I need to do ALL the patches
one by one starting from the end. BUT do I need to reboot each time
when prompted or just after I apply the LAST patch ????


thanks

You want to restart after each patch that requires it then move on the next.

thanks,

I just wanted to make sure I was not wasting alot
of time.

You're wasting alot of time. I always reboot only after the last patch - without any problems.

thanks,

I was kinda thinking that the only reason for a reboot was to
restart services, so that the purpose of the patch would take
effect, and not that some continuing file changes were taking
place after you reboot......

Kinda like when you install something on a windoz box, it tell's you
to reboot, and after you reboot sometimes the installer has something
it has to to after you reboot and then finishes........

I try to follow procedures, step by step, but hey, i'm a programmer,
I look at things logically, do I REALLY need to do this ???? :-)

again, thanks

time is $$$$ :-)
