| 652919 | 2008-03-26 08:13:00 | Ok - to go off on a slight tangent, of those Servers that are left on all the time, how often do you bounce them? Not counting OS updates that require a reboot . . . . I've got a pSeries AIX server, a RedHat linux box, and two X-series 2003 boxes at work, and they all get re-booted from time-to-time . Always an interesting discussion with IT folks about how often that 'time-to-time' should be!! :rolleyes: |

| 652924 | 2008-03-26 08:46:00 | I put mine to sleep when not using it. I only turn it off when I go in holiday. | vitalstatistix (9182) | ||
| 652925 | 2008-03-26 09:01:00 | Main two laptops usually get turned off unless they are downloading something, which is then set to turn off when completed. The windows home server stays on 24x7 - No monitor/keyboard attached The MediaPortal TV server stays on 24x7 - No monitor/keyboard attached either Any customers machines that might need to run tests are usually left on overnight. |

If not using it for a period of time in the day I usually turn off the monitor. I kid myself that it saves power but I sometimes wonder if it is worth it. Nofam: I also remember dial up days when I used to arise at 0200, start a download and go back to bed! I used to get speeds up to 9 or 10kbps! What bliss!:sleep |

I kid myself that it saves power but I sometimes wonder if it is worth it. Well it helps prevent monitor burn in (screensavers don't do their job these days) And theoretically helps with the longevity of the monitor. |
