Most of our servers stay up until there is some need (such as power 
reconfiguration) to power them down. The time between restarts is usually 
about a year. 

The asterisk box is close to half a year now. Asterisk itself has been 
restarted once since we needed to change a configuration that required a 
restart to reload.
