I'm considering CF as an application solution for a critical department..and
not having much experience with it , was wondering how often does the CF
service need to be restarted ? hourly, daily, weekly, monthly?????

i've had experiences with other app servers that at times could be quite
annoying...and would like to get some real world input on the issue.

Many thanks..

When something makes it go down! I have CF8 on my dedicated server
since last June. We've had to restart it one time, involved something quirky
with email that we never figured out.

Our production server is like the energizer bunny. It just keeps going and going and going.

Sometimes our development server has to be restarted because of endless loops and things like that.

It definitely depends on how you code and set up the site. I've worked at a few
places where the only time we restarted the CF servers (or services) were when
we actually switched servers. Other places we had scheduled maintenance windows
and did the restarts then, sometimes they were needed while other times it was
just for the sake of doing it.

You should also take into consideration the OS reboots, for Win2k3 or 2k8
you'll sometimes need to install critical patches which need to restart to take
effect. I don't know about UNIX or Solaris and the others.
