    Do you restart your server(s)

    Newbie question I know but do you ever restart your servers if everything is running fine?

    Is there a rule of thumb for how often you should do it?

      There is no need for restart if everything works fine.

              reboots does a server the most harm. Thats when most of the times harddisks fail.

                  No need to reboot if everything is fine. You may want to look into setting a schedule for maintenance though.

                      I have no idea why anyone would reboot a linux/unix server that is running fine, it doesn't do anything, if it's windows maybe

                                                  never reboot a server unless you need to.
