I'm sure that the OP can use care and write a solid, non-leaking daemon that would run for years. I did not mean to disparage OP's daemon, coding, or any monitoring software.

I did mean that there are millions of lines of very clever code holding up that daemon, and it is impractical to test that code for months of constant operation. So as a precaution, monthly server restarts will do two things:
  1. Prevent any long-term leakage problems from rearing their ugly heads
  2. Catch any configuration changes that might have been made in the preceding month that would prevent the server from returning to normal operation. A failed restart at the beginning of a maintenance window is much easier to deal with than a failed restart after a move or extended power outage.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
