They stay up for months at a time, but while they're doing it weird things
go wrong, services stop functioning but continue running without reporting
any errors, and memory leaks away into oblivion.
And the tools to let you see all this prior to it's becoming a problem are
rudimentary or nonexistant.
I've never had sendmail on a Unix box suddenly stop sending or receiving
messages, but still show up on the process list and respond to connections
without giving any errors. I've had this happen often enough on NT that I'm
having to set up even more monitoring, so I can detect it before the
complaints roll in.
I'll probably use a Linux box to do that monitoring, because my options are
so much more limited on NT and I have to babysit the stupid monitoring
server so much.

If you're going to post to a list that's hosted in the US, and devoted to a
US-produced product, then it's "evangelize".
