    On another tack, I just can't imagine a computer which is not available
    for a reboot (i.e. at worst 15 minutes) at some scheduled time, let's say
    3 o'clock on a nice Saturday morning. So please save us this destructive
    moan about your users!
    * FLAME OFF *

I suggest that you use more imagination.  There are *MANY* sites which
use their systems for large scale numerical processing and real time
control applications.  Any amount of downtime for these types of
systems can be very hard to come by.  Even academic systems near the
end of the semester have numerous users at all hours.
