How often do you reboot your BBS PC? I was just curious. I stopped my board Sunday for a 15 minute backup and did a reboot afterwards.

If you're worried about corruption of message bases, you can go through
and lock them all before doing an update.
smbutil options
L = lock a msg base for exclusive-access/backup
U = unlock a msg base
You'll obviously have to loop through all the bases, or you can just
take your chances.

I cannot understand why anyone would do something like this. Why do such a thing instead of just shutting down the BBS, then updating, and then restarting it? Makes no sense to me.

Why would you shut the board down when you can just lock your message bases and do a backup? Doesn't make sense to me.
These days I rarely reboot mine. I'm currently running my BBS on Linux, and I don't know how much difference that makes, but I've often let it run for a lon
time and it seems okay. Usually I only reboot the PC when I do a software update that involves an OS kernel update.
